Reducing Our Carbon Pawprint Through CRICKETS!

YUP!  Crickets. They are the primary ingredient in Chippin dog treats.  Crickets are also more kind to the environment.  Consider this, it only takes 1 gallon of water to produce 1 pound of cricket protein.  But it takes 2,000 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef protein.  Crickets are also remarkably healthy for dogs (and humans, but we won’t push that idea too hard). In this episode of the pawdcast, Karen and Jean chat with Kathleen Wojtowitz, head of marketing for Chippin, a woman-owned small business that’s hellbent on providing delicious and nutritious dog treats and food while reducing the pet food industry’s carbon pawprint.Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, Chippin products are available in stores nationwide and through its website www.chippinpet.com In addition to crickets, products are made with highly sustainable ingredients like spirulina and the horribly invasive silver carp.  Crafted under the supervision of qualified veterinarians, many of the products provide pre and pro-biotics and antioxidants.Go to https://chippinpet.com/discount/PAWDCAST and use the code PAWDCAST for 10% off your purchase.PawsGo has not been compensated for this episode.  In fact, we purchased the products and had our focus group of dog friends try them.  Eight out of 9 dogs went buggy over the treats.  The outlier is super picky, Kathleen thinks she might have the perfect treat for him, so we will happily try again!
