About Our Treats
Do I need to consult my vet prior to feeding my pet a treat from Tarts & Tails?
Consulting your veterinarian is always a great idea. They will have your dog’s full medical history and best understand their unique needs.
What makes your ingredients different from other brands?
We use only fresh, whole-food ingredients that meet USDA standards for human consumption. We do not use feed-grade ingredients, meat meals, or artificial additives in our products. We also follow each of the rigorous state requirements for ingredients analyses, manufacturing, and labeling.
Where and how are Tarts & Tails’ treats made?
Tarts & Tails started in our owner’s small home kitchen. Today our treats are made in a small commercial kitchen space outside of Dallas, Texas. Our treats are made in small batches and packaged by hand to ensure the freshest product possible.
Have you checked the labels on your dog’s food and treats?
The ingredients in our Tarts & Tails treats are simple. You can pronounce them and purchase them in your local market. Below is a listing of some of our core ingredients, along with their health benefits.
| Food | Health Benefit |
| Apples | Apples are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber for your dog. They are low in protein and fat, making them the perfect snack for senior dogs. |
| Apple Pectin | A soluble fiber from apples. In moderation, it has been known to improve digestive health and prevent or treat gastrointestinal disorders including diarrhea in canines. |
| Bananas | In moderation, bananas are a great low-calorie treat for dogs. They’re high in potassium, vitamins, biotin, fiber, and copper. They are low in cholesterol and sodium. |
| Blueberries | Blueberries are a superfood rich in antioxidants, which prevent cell damage in humans and canines alike. They’re packed with fiber and phytochemicals as well. |
| Carrots | Carrots are an excellent low-calorie snack that is high in fiber and beta-carotene, which produces vitamin A. |
| Celery | Celery is often recommended as a weight-loss treat. It is very low in fat and cholesterol and is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, folate, potassium, and manganese. |
| Coconut, Coconut Milk and Coconut Oil | Coconut contains lauric acid, which can help combat bacteria and viruses. Coconut may help with bad doggie breath and clearing up skin conditions like hot spots, flea allergies, and itchy skin. |
| Eggs | Eggs are a wonderful source of protein and can help an upset stomach. |
| Green Beans | Green beans are full of protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins B6, A, C, and K. They are also full of fiber and are low in calories. |
| Honey | Honey is packed with countless nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, and antioxidants. Feeding dogs small amounts of honey can help with allergies, because it introduces small amounts of pollen to their systems, building up immunity to allergens in your area. |
| Peanut Butter | Peanut butter can be an excellent source of protein for dogs. It contains heart-healthy fats, vitamins B and E and niacin. |
| Quinoa | The strong nutritional profile of quinoa makes it a healthy alternative to corn, wheat, and soy — starches that are often used to make kibble. |
| Salmon | Fish contains good fats and amino acids, giving your dog a nice health boost. Salmon is loaded with vitamins and protein. |
| Strawberries | Strawberries are full of fiber and vitamin C. Along with that, they also contain an enzyme that can help whiten your dog’s teeth as he or she eats them. |
