At WagRanch, we’re always on the lookout for high-quality ingredients that make our treats both nutritious and delicious for your furry best friend.

One of our favorite proteins is ostrich meat—a choice that might surprise you at first, but comes with a host of benefits for dogs (and the planet!).

1. More Sustainable than Beef
Ostriches are exceptionally resource-efficient animals. They require less land and water compared to cattle, which means a lower carbon footprint. By choosing ostrich meat, we’re not only promoting a greener option but also helping you feel good about making an environmentally conscious choice for your pet.

2. Lean and Nutrient-Dense
Ostrich meat is naturally lean, containing less fat and fewer calories than more common protein sources like beef. Despite being low in fat, it’s still packed with essential vitamins and minerals. This means your dog gets plenty of muscle-building protein without unnecessary fillers or excess calories.

3. Allergen-Friendly for Sensitive Tummies
Many dogs struggle with allergies and food sensitivities, especially when it comes to common proteins like chicken or beef. Ostrich is considered a “novel protein,” which can make it a great alternative for pups who need a gentle, stomach-friendly option. This can help keep itching and tummy troubles at bay.

4. Rich in Flavor
Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it’s bland! Ostrich meat has a unique, savory flavor dogs love. Plus, when it’s combined with our other wholesome ingredients, you can expect a taste your canine companion will keep wagging about.

At WagRanch, our goal is simple: to create treats that are both beneficial to your dog’s well-being and kind to our planet.

Ostrich meat checks all the boxes, making it a standout choice in our ingredient lineup.
