One-Ingredient Dog Treats

The Honest Kitchen's Functional Treats Boast Singular Ingredients

For the sake of simplicity and health, there are many food brands that are now striving to make their products with five ingredients or less—but The Honest Kitchen's line of Functional Treats pushes this concept by using just single ingredients. For instance, the Nice Mussels treats for dogs are all-natural and made up of only real blue and green mussels.

Nice Mussels are part of The Honest Kitchen's line of 100% human-grade Functional Treats because they are said to be good for a dog's skin and coat. Similarly, other items in the line like the Beam Talls are dried fish skins that are beneficial for a dog's dental health.

At Natural Products Expo West, The Honest Kitchen's Nice Mussels were recognized as the Editors' Choice for Natural Living Product.
