The baked dog treat bar is made with a dried yeast that requires much less land, water and energy to produce than animal and plant-based proteins, and it also boasts a formula that's free from peanuts. Bond's Protein-Packed Dog Treat Bar boasts a sustainable and compact form that can be snapped into smaller pieces to supplement a dog's diet on the go. With this in mind, the brand purposefully shaped and packaged its novel pet treat product to look like a candy bar.
