In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Polkadog announced two new treats for dogs at the Global Pet Expo 2023: Cake Batter and Green Monstah. Both of these are limited-ingredient treats and Green Monstah represents a restoration project from the brand that supports kelp farming and helps to control the green crab population in New England.
Green Monstah treats for dogs are a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids to support a pet's overall health. Products made with invasive species can be a sustainable way to control populations while promoting biodiversity, supporting local economies and decreasing negative impacts on ecosystems. This product formulated with green crab and kelp acknowledges kelp as a high-protein resource that's worth protecting, especially as one of the richest sources of amino acids.
