Barbecue-Inspired Dog Treats

Nudges' Treats for Dogs Mimic the Look and Taste of Grilled Foods

'Grillers' are natural treats for dogs from Nudges that are made with real beef and chicken, and boast the look of meat that is fresh off the grill.

As Nudges takes great care to emphasize that its products are all made in the United States, it calls out that its all-natural dog treats feature only USA chicken and beef. These barbecue-inspired dog snacks are also free from artificial flavors and preservatives, as well as animal by-products, corn, wheat and soy. In fact, the Grillers Made with Real Chicken treats are so simple, it boasts less than 10 ingredients.

While there are plenty of chicken and beef treats for dogs on the market, these ones set themselves apart with clean ingredients and charming grill marks. The latter is a product feature that is proudly shown off by Nudges with a clear panel on the front of the pouch packaging.
