Across all flavors, whole wheat flour is the first ingredient in these bites, and fiber-rich, upcycled sweet potato is also high on the list. This nutritious base is enhanced with real, recognizable ingredients like [peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-bistro), bacon, dried cheese and rosemary extract to form pet-pleasing flavors like [Chicken and Pumpkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-bites). Free from corn and soy, these oven-baked dog bites are formed into shapes of dogs' favorite things like fire hydrants, mailboxes, bowls, and newspaper rolls.
