In the quest for optimal nutrition for our dogs, Savannah Dog Food has taken an unconventional path. We have chosen ostrich meat, bones, and tendons as the main protein source for their dog treats. But what prompted this unusual choice? The answer lies in three primary factors: the novelty of ostrich protein, its sustainability, and its hypoallergenic properties.
Novel Protein Source
In the realm of canine nutrition, the term 'novel protein' refers to a type of protein that a dog has never consumed before. Ostrich meat falls into this category for most dogs. By introducing a novel protein into your pet's diet, you lessen the risk of food sensitivities and allergies that can occur due to overexposure to common proteins like chicken, beef, or lamb. Ostrich meat, bones, and tendons also provide a complete amino acid profile, essential for muscle development and overall health.
Sustainable Choice
Savannah Dog Food's decision to use ostrich meat reflects a commitment to sustainability. Ostrich farming has a minimal environmental impact, requiring less land and water than traditional livestock. Furthermore, ostriches emit less methane, contributing less to greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing ostrich protein, Savannah Dog Food is not only providing nutritious treats for our pets but also promoting a more sustainable food system.
Hypoallergenic Benefits
Another significant advantage of ostrich meat is its hypoallergenic property. Many dogs develop allergies to common proteins over time, leading to skin conditions, digestive issues, and other health problems. Ostrich meat, being a novel and rare protein source, has a lower likelihood of causing allergic reactions, making it an excellent choice for dogs with food sensitivities.
FAQs
Q: Is ostrich meat safe for dogs to eat? A: Absolutely. Ostrich meat is not only safe for dogs, but it also provides a rich source of lean, high-quality protein.
Q: Can ostrich meat replace other proteins in my dog's diet? A: Yes, ostrich meat can be a primary protein source in your dog's diet, especially if they have developed allergies to more common proteins.
Q: Where can I buy Savannah Dog Food's ostrich treats? A: Savannah Dog Food's ostrich treats can be purchased online and at select pet food stores.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Savannah Dog Food has made a visionary move by choosing ostrich meat, bones, and tendons as the main protein source for their dog treats. This choice showcases our commitment to providing high-quality, hypoallergenic, and sustainable options for our pets. These treats are not just a delicious choice for your dog, but they also contribute to a healthier planet, making Savannah Dog Food's ostrich treats a wise choice for pet owners everywhere.

This is my 11yr old dog Gypsy. She and my other senior are loving these bones! She only has about 12 teeth left but she's doing a great job on this bone. Its the perfect size for her. This is going to last a long time!
Kallan My three year-old Parson Russell terrier absolutely loves these tendons! I unravel them so that he can have more experiences with them. It’s like doggy crack.!! 🥰
Dexter loves this bone. I’m sooo happy I’ve been spending lots of money on bulky bones snd they stink and are gone in less than an hour. He has been chewing on this for over an hour and has hardly damaged it so happy.
My two Shih Tzu love the ostrich hip bone. Yes they are huge and my fur babies are engaged for a long period, which allows me to work from home in peace. The bones last a long time and they don’t splinter. We love them!!!
My dog Cleo absolutely loves the ostrich beaks. She's a senior chihuahua with dental issues and she's able to devour a beak in about ten minutes. This is by far her favorite treat that we've ever gotten her.
Our girls were excited to get a new chew. At first the dogs were not sure but once they got the first taste of ostrich they were hooked. The ostrich chips have also become a favorite and the girls get so excited when I start opening the packet. Thank you for alternatives besides beef bones.
My little terrier is SUPER DUPER PICKY! I’m always embarrassed when well intended people offer him special treats and he sniffs and walks away. He doesn’t like anything good for him: no bone broth, no pumpkin, no yogurt ….. but he LOVES these ostrich tendons!!!! He was so busy with his rib bones he didn’t even notice a squirrel going by. HUGE FAN of these!!
My dogs get bored quickly with marrow bones and knee caps. So far they are l9ving them. This picture of dragging both chest bones into the living room.
My PJ absolutely loves your Ostrich chips - all flavors. He starts drooling whenever he sees me open the bag. One is never enough. I make him take smaller bites so his treats will last longer and he’ll think I’m more generous than I am. Thank you for making such a delicious treat for my precious baby.
Just got the ostrich foot bones today and immediately gave to my 2 doxies. They loved them! Too much though because the bones triggered resource guarding in non-resource guarding dogs. They were quiet for hours while I worked. Did cause gas in my senior dog but some things do that to him. My dogs worked on them for hours and almost finished them before I could get them away. I’ll try the knuckle bones next.
Such a wonderful first experience!! My sweet boy loves his very first Ostrich bone!!
Such a great healthy, safe way to keep him busy!
Wonderful fast shipping, and awesome customer service. We felt very loved with our handwritten ‘thank you’ from Judy!
Can’t wait to order more in the future!
Ostrich long bone for my boy. This is the second one for us and we are fans. Bull here, is a super chewer but has a very sensitive stomach. This bone keeps him busy for hours, yes hours. And his tummy is happy. And so am I. Thank you Savannah! I'll be ordering more soon.
Our 2 year old Newfoundland, Chunk, has allergies to the majority of proteins. Your products have been a lifesaver! He absolutely loves them and the mental stimulation wears him out! Thanks for supplying a healthy and safe treat for our pup!
It’s his go-to chewy when he’s wound up and settling down. In the house after the park or post-zoomies from a bath, Reggie goes right for his long-lasting twisted tendon!
My Cane Corso Deacon love these bones. They last a long time for my big guy. And l love that they don’t smell bad or make a mess. It’s a win win at our house.
The dogs couldn’t believe how big these bones were when I handed them to them! It took them a few minutes to figure out what to do with them and then it was game on!
The dogs and pups love these chest bones. Griffs are voracious chewers and these bones have kept them busy for the past hour. Soft enough for the pups and satisfying for the big dogs
