Our Beginnings
Inspired by Necessity
In early 2023, after Glacier's vet recommended increasing her fiber intake due to digestive issues, I embarked on a journey to create the perfect treat. Despite initial attempts to add fiber to her regular diet, there was little improvement. It wasn’t just the lack of fiber; the store-bought treats were filled with unnecessary ingredients that weren’t helping her sensitive stomach. Over nearly a year of research, trial, and error, I created a recipe with simple, natural ingredients. I also wanted to create something exciting for pet owners. This led to the idea of a bar-shaped treat, offering a unique and environmentally friendly option that allowed for printing and packaging at home.
Our Mission
Quality Ingredients for Optimal Health
I embarked on this journey to create Glacier’s treat bars with her well-being in mind. Each bar is crafted with goat milk as the main ingredient, chosen for its exceptional benefits. Goat milk is gentle on dogs' stomachs, highly digestible, and packed with nutrients that support overall health.
I use real fruits and vegetables in every recipe. To ensure they maintain their nutritional value and flavor, I dehydrate and crush them into powders. This method preserves their vibrant colors naturally—what you see in the photo is pure fruit and veggie goodness, no artificial dyes.
To extend the shelf life of the treats, each bar undergoes a 24-hour dehydration process. I also use a small amount of citric acid, a safer alternative to the harmful preservatives commonly found in store-bought treats. This careful preparation ensures that Glacier's treats are not only delicious but also healthy and long-lasting.
