Love It: Scout and Zoe's Treats (and a Giveaway!)

************************THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED************************

Having a pooch with allergies means that I spend most of my time in the pet store reading and examining dog food and treat labels.  I'm especially always on the hunt for treats that have limited ingredients, are grain/wheat/corn/soy free, made in the USA, and have ingredients that I can actually pronounce.  So, when Scout & Zoe's founder Cindy Dunston Quirk contacted me and asked if Athena would like to try some USA made chicken jerky and sweet potato treats that are especially made for dogs with allergies, I knew that we had to give them a try!

Scout & Zoe's chicken jerky and sweet potato treats

Scout & Zoe's Chicken Jerky:

I know, I know, just hearing "chicken jerky" is scary with all of the recent deaths linked to chicken jerky manufactured in China.  But, Scout & Zoe's is doing chicken jerky the right way for our beloved four-legged kids.  There's nothing to fear with these amazing chicken jerky treats!  Not only are they made in the USA, but they are also made from USDA grade A boneless, skinless chicken breast that also happens to be human grade.


Finally we've found some chicken jerky that is 100% safe for Athena and that she thinks is ever so tasty.  And get this, the ONLY ingredient in Scout & Zoe's chicken jerky is CHICKEN BREAST!  There are absolutely zero preservatives in these healthy treats which makes me love them even more.

Scout & Zoe's chicken jerky taste testing

Athena thought the chicken jerky was absolutely amazing!  She's actually never had any type of jerky before, so this was a very special treat for her.  I love how large the pieces of chicken jerky are and there are quite a few stuffed into the two ounce bag.  The jerky is also very easy to break into smaller pieces to use for training treats because we all know how hard we make Athena work for her food ;)


The humans and the pooch in this household give Scout and Zoe's chicken jerky two thumbs and four paws up!


Scout & Zoe's Sweet Potato Treats:

Ohhhh, how Athena loves sweet potatoes!  This girl went gaga over Scout & Zoe's sweet potato treats and even did some extra special tricks to get her hands paws on the yummy goodness.


Like Scout & Zoe's chicken jerky, their sweet potato treats are also manufactured in the USA and are made from USA grown fancy sweet potatoes.  The only ingredient you'll find on this bag of treats is SWEET POTATOES!  Once again, these treats from Scout & Zoe's have no preservatives whatsoever and are the epitome of canine treat perfection.



I love the size of the big round pieces of dehydrated sweet potato treats that come in the two ounce bag.  They are the perfect snack to give Athena for what we call her "bonus treats" that she gets for doing extra special things like "go to your crate," and "trade."  These sweet potato treats are also perfect for breaking into smaller pieces to use for our daily training sessions.  We've found that Athena enjoys a piece of sweet potato just as much as she does a piece of cheese (but sweet potatoes are healthier...woo hoo!).


Scout & Zoe's Antler Chews:

Not only does Scout & Zoe's sell delicious doggie treats online and in retail stores across the US, they also have quite a variety of natural antler chews to choose from.  Antlers are wonderful for dogs who crave something to chew on throughout the day and are also filled with healthy minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.  The antlers over at Scout & Zoe's are naturally shed elk antlers from the USA.


Scout & Zoe's so kindly agreed to give away the large elk antler that you see above to one lucky Pitlandia reader!

  3. Gambit loves to chew on any toy that will fit in his mouth, especially tennis balls because they break easily and anything with worn down bit, ear, tail, or leg he can try to pull off. He would like to know what is an extra tough toy??

  7. My babies all love chewing on durable toys like Nylabones, but I know they'd enjoy antlers even more!! We have liked you and Scout & Zoey's on facebook :)

  8. What a fun giveaway! Turk lurves his raw marrow bones, Rufus digs a bully stick, and Moby lurves to chew on his rope toys! While Turk is allergic to all things chicken-related, I bet Moby and Rufus would love that jerky... and as for the sweet potato chews, they'd be gone in a flash!

  9. Fenway loves chewing on a little Aflac duck toy that I got for participating in a triathlon. For a while, it actually would say "Alfac, Aflac, Aflaaaaaac" whenever he's squeeze it just right, but the battery (finally) died. No other toy has ever survived his chewing for this long so we'll see what happens. I'd love to have him try an elk antler - it'd be his first!
    I already follow you guys on facebook, and I now follow Scout & Zoe too. I'll be sharing the contest on FB as soon as I hot "Publish". Thanks :)

  10. Koira's favorite thing to chew on is a food stuffed toy (any food stuffed toy will do). But, other than that? Probably her Grinz ball. She loves chewing and chewing and chewing on it, and I love that it lets her to that with no signs of damage yet.

    Also, I am a Pitlandia Facebook fan!

  11. Silly Jilly's favorite chew toys encompass any and all dog beds or towels or bathmats or shoes or anything expressly not a dog chew toy. Her second favoriteclass of chew toys includes bones and antlers. If she knew antlerswere naturally shed, perhaps she would like them even better. Her sister Suzy Boo Bear has opposite preferences, but succumbs to silly influneces and joins in on the chewing of non chew toys. We like Pitlandia and scout and zoe on Facebook as the profile name Christine Hogan and we'll share this blog giveaway. Our email is chrystielyn [AT] gmail.com.

  12. Well Ed will chew on just about anything, given the chance.Tess isn't much of a chewer - she's more of a destroyer when she found something she really likes. I bet she'd put a hurtin' on that chicken jerky!

  13. The momma has been in the market for just these types of goodies! I might have to send her over to Scout and Zoe's to get me some, after she cleans up my drool puddles! He he. I like to chew on balls. I know I shouldn't chew them, but it's what I enjoy most!

  14. We have already liked you and Scout & Zoe's! Will be ordering from them hopefully this weekend! But, hey, contest - why not! Panda loves to chew on her slingshot ball and other squeaky, furry toys - and she loves chicken feet, duck necks, her KONG, dried fish skins and once in awhile - a nice, stinky bully stick! Thanks - and sharing on my FB page and business page!

  16. Love you on FB! Petey's favorite thing to chew on is soup bones! And peeling the bark off sticks! Which is great because he pulls it off and that burns off lots of energy!

  17. Diggory loves to chew on deer antlers, so I'm sure elk would be even better! His other go-to favorites are bully sticks, a Nylabone, his stuffies, and tennis balls. Luckily he's a good Dude and leaves my things alone. Thanks Athena!
