Introducing Our Single-Ingredient Treats: Because Treats Should Be As Healthy As Mealtime
We're excited to announce the launch of our new line of single-ingredient treats for dogs! If you've been following our philosophy at Mills Daily Packs, you know we're passionate about providing premium, nutritious food for your dog and now we're bringing that same commitment to treat time.
Why Single-Ingredient Treats?
Here's something many dog parents don't realize: treats should be factored into your dog's daily caloric intake and should account for up to 10% of it. If you're giving multiple treats throughout the day, those calories add up quickly and most commercial treats are calorie-dense with minimal nutritional value.
Our single-ingredient treats change that equation. Because they're pure protein without fillers, artificial preservatives or flavor enhancers, you're giving your dog treats that are as healthy as their food, rather than empty calories.
What Does "Single Ingredient" Really Mean?
When we say single ingredient we mean it literally. Each treat contains one high-quality protein source – nothing more, nothing less. No fillers to bulk them up. No artificial preservatives to extend shelf life. No mysterious "natural flavors."
Just pure, freeze-dried protein that you can recognize and trust.
This simplicity isn't just about clean labels (though that's a nice bonus). It's about giving your dog the nutrition they deserve, even during treat time. And for dogs with food sensitivities or allergies, single-ingredient treats make it easy to identify exactly what they're eating and avoid potential triggers.
The Freeze-Dried Advantage
You might be wondering: if there are no preservatives, how do these treats stay fresh?
The answer lies in our freeze-drying process. Freeze-drying removes moisture while preserving the nutritional integrity of the protein. This means:
- Maximum nutrient retention – vitamins, minerals, and proteins stay intact
- Intense natural flavor – dogs love the concentrated taste
- Long shelf life – naturally preserved without chemicals
- Lightweight and portable – perfect for training sessions, hikes, travel or cuddling
For Every Dog, Every Life Stage
The freeze-dried texture makes these treats incredibly easy to break into smaller pieces. This versatility is a game-changer for multi-dog households or dogs at different life stages.
For puppies, you can break treats into tiny training rewards - perfect for those early months when you're going through dozens of treats per training session. The high protein content supports puppy growth and development, while the small portions help prevent overfeeding.
For senior dogs, the ability to break treats into manageable pieces is essential. Older dogs may have dental issues, reduced jaw strength, or they may simply need smaller portions to maintain a healthy weight. Our treats can be broken into whatever size works best for your aging companion, and the soft freeze-dried texture is gentle on sensitive teeth.
For small breeds, portion control is essential. A treat that's perfect for a Labrador might be way too much for a Chihuahua. With our single ingredient treats, you can customize the size to match your dog's needs, no matter how tiny.
How to Use Single Ingredient Treats
Treats can be used in multiple settings:
- Training rewards: Break them into small pieces for frequent reinforcement during training sessions.The intense flavor means even tiny pieces are highly motivating.
- Enrichment activities: Use them in puzzle toys, snuffle mats, or Kong toys for mental stimulation.
- Special occasions: Keep them whole for those moments that deserve a bigger reward.
- Travel companions: Lightweight and non-perishable, they're perfect for adventures.
Our Commitment to Quality
Just as we seal your dog's meals in Daily Packs to preserve freshness and nutrients, we've applied the same thoughtful approach to our treats. Every batch is carefully freeze-dried to lock in nutrition, and we source only high-quality proteins that meet our strict standards.
We believe your dog deserves the same level of care and attention in their treats as they get in their meals.
Pack It All Up: Simple Ingredients, Powerful Nutrition
Treats count towards your dog’s nutrition and daily caloric intake, so they should be as nutritious as their food. Our Single Ingredient Treats, made of a single protein and free or grains and fillers and additives, make it possible to treat and train your dog guilt free.
