Safety
PetMech, LLC, a humane pet product research and testing company located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, tested a bone-shaped dog chew for Milk Dynamics, Inc. The chew was tested for digestibility using in vitro tests in simulated gastric (stomach) and intestinal juices. The term “in vitro” means “outside the body” and “in an artificial environment”. In vitro tests were selected to determine the digestibility of dog treats for humane reasons, and were conducted under conditions that were designed to simulate the digestive system of dogs. The purpose of the tests was to estimate the rate of degradation of a dog chew in the canine digestive tract to assess product safety. Dog chews that are swallowed whole, or in part, should degrade rapidly in the canine digestive system to prevent potentially dangerous blockage. Procedures developed by de Godoy et al. (2014) were followed. These procedures are sometimes referred to as the “Fahey” protocol.
Tests were conducted on 10 mm cubes of the products as described throughout this report. The pieces were cut to simulate chunks that could potentially be swallowed by dogs. Note of caution: The in vitro tests performed were designed to simulate actual digestive conditions in normal, healthy dogs and are based on sound scientific practices and experience. Actual performance of the product will vary in live animals based on individual characteristics and conditions such as age, size, breed, and health.
Sustainable & Social Responsible
At Pluto's Chews, we're committed to sustainability and social responsibility. That's why we upcycle several ingredients used in our products, such as apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, and persimmons. Rather than letting these nutritious ingredients go to waste, we repurpose them into delicious and healthy treats for your pets. This not only helps reduce food waste but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly production process.When you choose Pluto's Chews, you're not only selecting high-quality treats for your furry friends – you're also supporting our dedication to sustainability and ethical practices. We believe in being an equal opportunity company, prioritizing environmental stewardship, and making a positive impact on pets, pet families, and the planet.
