Dear Consumer,

With all the unfortunate incidents that the pet food industry has been experiencing lately, I wanted to take the opportunity to state our position regarding our products and where they fit in the industry.

All of our animals are treated as members of our families.  We only feed clean, simple, tasty treats made of the best possible ingredients.  We think a healthier treat results in a healthier dog.

Our cookies are baked by hand in small batches.  We feel that better treats result from not being assembled in huge industrial environments.  We know we could make more cookies per hour, and they would cost less. However, we are committed to the better quality control that small batch baking provides.

All of our ingredients are human grade.  That means you can eat these cookies if you want to. Why would we want to feed our pet family members anything less?  Human grade ingredients mean cleaner, higher quality ingredients.  Again, we choose the best.

100% of our ingredients are sourced in the United States.  That means nothing goes into our treats that was not grown in the United States.  We do this for 2 reasons.  The United States is known as the bread basket to the world.  That is because our farms grow the best ingredients possible. We also choose to source our ingredients totally from the United States because we want to support our farmers.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share some of our philosophy with you.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  The easiest way to reach us is through our web site at www.northwoodsanimaltreats.com.  We will get right back with you.  Put a little bit of the North Woods in your dog’s life!
