We believe that health issues arise from all of the
preservatives, sugars, heavy processing and harmful insecticides and chemical
fertilizers in foods. At the Land of PureGold we only carry those
treats that we would allow our own dogs to eat. Everything must be human-quality
and for proteins, organic or free-range. For that reason, the cost may
be somewhat higher. But, honestly, we believe our furkids are more than worth
it. They have such a limited life span with us as it is, so we figure it is the
least we can do to try and extend it by providing only the best.US shipping to the contiguous U.S. only.
Golden Feedback Penny got her package of
Dr. Becker's Bison Bites today. Mike took
the package out of the mailbox and handed it to Penny saying it was
for her. She was so cute running around the yard with it in her
mouth. She didn't want to give it to me but when I finally got it,
and opened it, she was so excited. She went crazy
over these bison treats. Penny likes them so much that I am going to use them at agility
training. — MJ Click here

I’m such a proud furmom. These are my little guys, Bichon Frise, Olive, and
Bichon, Maltese & Poodle mix, Buster. I just love them to pieces. And, they just
love your wonderful Cheese Please treats! It makes me feel better knowing they
are good for them as well! It is truly very important what you feed your dogs.

Monzie's Organic Müesli for Dogs
This special pre-mix has no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, and
is wheat & corn free. Just look at the impeccable ingredients: Organic Oats, Organic Barley, Organic Rye, Organic Quinoa, Organic Flax Seeds, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Kelp Powder, Carob Powder, Vegetable Broth Powder, Garlic, Parsley, Organic Alfalfa,
and Organic Dandelion.
Simply add organic poultry or meat & water and you've got a fresh, organic, homemade dog food in minutes.
Dogs are designed to eat unprocessed foods; however, dry kibbles have been
cooked and pelletized, thus robbing them of natural nutrients and enzymes. In
this pre-mix, there are no fillers, so there’s much more nutrition in every
bite–meaning your dog eats less, and your food lasts typically twice as long as
most other brands.
In addition to organic meat, more balance
and antioxidant protection is provided by adding the following:
organic apples, organic steamed broccoli, organic wild blueberries. Other
additions can include organic carrots, organic cooked egg,
plain nonfat yogurt, and nonfat cottage cheese.

Natural Factors Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil 1000, 180 Softgels
For optimum health, it is also very
important to add at least 4000mg daily of wild salmon oil to
provide the essential Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
Our Golden Alfie gets 6000 units daily and boy what a difference it
has made. Many studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil
have numerous health advantages and are especially helpful for the
cardiovascular system. Natural Factors supports the sustainable use of
wild salmon through contributions to salmon using fish parts that would
otherwise be wasted, therefore there is no depletion of existing stocks.
Natural Factors Wild Salmon Oil has no antibiotic or hormone residues
often found in farmed salmon and is frequently tested for chemical
residues and heavy metals.

Dr. Becker's BISON BITES Dr. Becker's BISON Bites are made in Iowa from free-range, grass-fed
Bison liver and heart. This 100%
pure meat "bite" is free from pesticides, herbicides, hormones and
antibiotics commonly found in beef. It also contains no grains. It is low in fat
and
high in protein and essential fatty acids. And, Bison heart provides one of the
highest natural sources of CoQ10 found in any meat source.
As a veterinarian focused on the health and nutritional requirements of our
pets, I can confidently say this is the healthiest treat on the market.

Shaw Becker, DVM, NMD
Bison is non-allergenic, making it easily digested by dogs with a red meat
intolerance. It is considered to be a highly nutrient dense food (the proportion
of protein, fat, minerals & fatty acids are high when compared to its caloric
value). Bison allowed to graze on natural grasses is high in omega-3 fatty
acids. Grass-fed Bison is also high in CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), a potent
substance that blocks tumor growth, reduces obesity, reduces the risk of
diabetes, and stimulates the immune system.
Organic Barkwheats Buckwheat Biscuits — Ginger & Parsley / SeaVeg & Chamomile Barkwheats, handmade in Stockton Springs, Maine, are quite unique dog
treats. Each ½lb bag contains at least 25
treats, enclosed in packaging made from sustainably harvested cottonwood trees
and 100% recycled paperboard. Completely biodegradable, it only takes about 2-3
months to fully degrade in your compost bin! Barkwheats, made with organic and
local ingredients, are gluten-free, corn-free, soy-free, sugar-free, salt-free &
preservative-free.
Why Dogs Love 'Em — On livestock farms, buckwheat "middlings"
(the middle part of the buckwheat milling process after the white flour has been
sifted out) are used as feed because of it's super high protein content and very
sweet taste. Even the most picky of dogs can not turn them down!
Unique
Ingredients Set these Biscuits Apart
Buckwheat — Centuries ago, peasant
farmers in Asia began cultivating a highly nutritious and extremely hardy plant known
today as buckwheat. Brought to the northeastern
U.S. in the 17th century, buckwheat quickly became an Acadian tradition, used in
pancakes and porridges. This miracle plant, now celebrated as a vital
source of minerals and amino acids, is a wonderful food source for those who are
intolerant of gluten. Despite the name, buckwheat
isn't wheat, nor is it even a grain. It is actually a
fruit seed that is related to rhubarb. Unlike other cereal grains,
buckwheat is high in the essential amino acids lysine and arginine.
With a generous amount of magnesium (86mg in 1
cup), it also relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow and
nutrient delivery. And, it has been shown in studies to contribute to
blood sugar control.
Bladderwrack (known as
rockweed) — Harvested from the coast of Maine, this sea
vegetable contains iodine, which many believe stimulates the thyroid and
promotes healthy weight. It has been said that people living near
the coast have a historically low rate of hypothyroidism because of
eating iodine rich foods such as bladderwrack.
Research has also shown it to absorb toxic hydrocarbons and scavenge
heavy metals throughout the body.
Ginger and Chamomile— Both
calm inflammation and soothe gastrointestinal discomfort (gas) and
nausea. Chamomile additionally helps to remove mucus buildup associated
with colds and other infections. It further will help to calm
your dog’s mind. It is similar to why folks drink chamomile tea before
bed to help them relax and fall asleep,
Parsley
— Promotes fresh
breath and the volatile oils in it qualify the herb as a chemoprotective
food. That is, parsley can help neutralize particular types of
carcinogens (like the benzopyrenes that are part of cigarette smoke and
charcoal grill smoke). Parsley also contains a great amount of vitamin
K, which has been shown in scientific studies to help reduce tumor
formation.
High Oleic Safflower
oil and Free-Range Eggs — Provides Omega3 fatty acids that lend a nice shiny coat to
your dog. High oleic safflower oil is produced from plants
created through traditional breeding methods, not through the use of
biotechnology
Raw Local Honey— Provides health
benefits related to digestion, allergies, and more.
Sea Veg & Chamomile Buckwheat Biscuits Soothing chamomile and a nutrient rich sea vegetable rounds out this
treat. Ingredients: Buckwheat flour (Local, Organic), Bladderwrack Powder
(Local, Organic), Chamomile (Fair Trade Organic), Free-range eggs (Local,
Organic), Raw Honey (Local), Safflower Oil, High Oleic Cold Pressed, Unrefined.
NOTE: It is advised to feed the SeaVeg & Chamomile biscuits for no more
than 2 weeks straight, taking a weeks' break (feed the Ginger & Parsley during
that time) in order to avoid potential buildup of iodine in your dog's system.
Chris Roberts, the creator of Barkwheats, is a true gem. We are jealous
of his Maine-based company as they are setting such an incredible example . . .
so illustrated below in
their Triple Bottom Line.
Social Mission:
Barkwheats is dedicated to the enhancement of human life by bringing
wholesome and nutritious food to the dogs that make our lives
complete. Barkwheats participates in community forums and
discussions, bringing ideas on sustaining local business and
agriculture in Maine.
Environmental Mission:
Barkwheats purchases more than 95% of the ingredients used from
Maine sources, mostly within the Mid-Coast region.
Our buckwheat flour comes from:Morgan's Mills in Union, ME; our raw honey from Gardiner's Honey &
Pollination in Swanville, ME; our eggs from
Mandala Farm in Gouldsboro, ME, where they tend their farm using Fjord
horses instead of diesel powered tractors; our bladderwrack powder fromMaine Coast
Sea Vegetables in Franklin, ME; our
parsley fromSnakeroot Farm in Pittsfield, ME
(starting August 2008); and, our ginger,
chamomile, and safflower oil fromMountain Rose Herbs
in Oregon (for the botanicals) and Tuscan Oil (for the safflower oil).
Ginger doesn't grow in Maine, no one grows and processes oils in Maine,
and we are currently looking for a source of organic chamomile here in
Maine. By purchasing
locally, we help to sustain small, local farms and the communities
surrounding them. Our ingredients are all natural and organic,
sustaining a healthy ecology. Our packaging is made of a 100%
recycled box & a biodegradable cellulose bag, reducing the waste
stream otherwise created.
Economic Mission:Barkwheats sustains profitability in
part by minimizing costs associated with, but not limited to: energy
consumption, waste elimination, and ingredient transport, use of
hand operated machinery, CFL lights, re-using and recycling, and
purchasing local goods and services.
