As pet parents, we all want the best for our furry friends. But when it comes to choosing the right food and treats, the options can be overwhelming. If you’re looking for a solution that supports your dog’s health and happiness, it might be time to consider novel proteins. Let’s explore why novel proteins, like ostrich, could be the game-changer your pet needs.
What Are Novel Proteins?
Novel proteins are unique protein sources that are not commonly found in traditional pet foods. Unlike chicken, beef, or pork, which are prevalent in many pet products, proteins like ostrich are considered novel. These unique proteins are especially beneficial for pets with food sensitivities or allergies, as they’re less likely to trigger adverse reactions.
At Savannah Pet Food, we specialize in novel protein treats and chews made from sustainably sourced ostrich. Our single-ingredient products provide a simple yet highly nutritious option for your pets.
The Health Benefits of Ostrich-Based Products
High Nutritional Value: Ostrich meat is packed with protein and low in fat, making it an excellent choice for maintaining your dog’s energy levels and healthy weight.
Dental Health: Our ostrich bones and chews are perfect for keeping your dog’s teeth clean while providing long-lasting entertainment. Chewing helps reduce plaque buildup and promotes healthy gums.
Hypoallergenic Qualities: For dogs with allergies, novel proteins like ostrich can be a safe and effective alternative to traditional protein sources, reducing itching, digestive upset, and other allergy symptoms.
Natural and Delicious: Our treats and chews contain no artificial additives, ensuring your dog enjoys a healthy and natural snack.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Pet Care
Choosing ostrich-based products isn’t just good for your pet; it’s also good for the planet. Ostrich farming is incredibly sustainable, using fewer resources like water and land compared to traditional livestock.
At Savannah Pet Food, we take sustainability seriously. From using 100% recyclable packaging to ensuring humane and environmentally conscious farming practices, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact.
Real Success Stories from Happy Customers
Don’t just take our word for it. Here are some stories from pet parents who have seen the benefits of switching to ostrich-based treats:
Paulette: "Buddy is a 5 month old cardigan welsh corgi who loves to chew!! This twister is so much more interesting than our shoes and furniture. It kept him busy for two days!."
Lee: "I love this company and their products. My 70 lb boxer mix loves them even more. Thank you. I never worry when I give my dog large shaft bones."

His eyes opened wide when I held it out for him. He grabbed it very gently. And then ran into the other room and played with it for a while before he chomped it down. I love your products and so does Henry. 🐶
My baby has bad allergies so I decided to make a purchase, we just received the products and this is day 1 she enjoyed the knee joint today, ate the whole thing!
Tomorrow I am going to give her the big one to chew on, I will let you know!
Thanks for making these products!
A new product and drum roll.......SHE CAN'T GET ENOUGH! I will need to order more of these gizzard strips. Believe it or not she is a picky eater but when it comes to the Savannah products, we are at 100% love for every product thus far. He attitude and her teeth have improved! THANKS YA'LL
Roxy LOVES it. Once it peeled off…and I threw that away…some sharp points, it is great! Highly recommended. Just watch closely until it peels back to solid bone.
My dogs are very aggressive chewers. I was disappointed by just about every dog bone or chew toy. They would be gone within a couple of hours. These bones can last for days. I have not found anything that keeps them occupied for such a long time and stands up to their chewing. I love Savannah
This is the first bone my pup loves this much!! It's football Sunday for us and we always feel bad for her being bored but she's been entertained by this bone all morning! Will definitely buy more!!
Peachy is 11 yo and she LOVES the knuckle, she can actually finish it in one sitting , which is about 4 hours+ , I never see her defending her food from her pitbull brother , this is the first thing she doesn’t share. 🤣
This bone has held up really really well! I was skeptical at first, as our big boy, as year and a half old English Mastiff had gone through bigger bones in a couple hours. This has lasted for a week so far and he has been happily chewing away with minimal damage! This bone seems to be a winner, we will be purchasing more!!
My 6 year old lab goes crazy over the ostrich bone. It lasts longer than any other product we’ve ordered. It doesn't splinter so that’s a huge plus! Highly recommend.
Shade absolutely loved his first ostrich hip bone. He is a power chewer so chew toys don’t last. This bone kept him occupied and is big enough for multiple uses.
These are labeled as bones, but they seem pretty easy to chew. Both my bully mix and my golden retriever were able to completely finish them within an hour. I haven't given one to my APB with the fractured teeth, out of an abundance of caution.
Didn't take long for my doggos to start chomping on this. Thought I'd be able to cut it in half to share, but since they love it so much, I've already ordered another two so they don't have to share next time. It reminds me of a massive pig ear but thicker to work through, and a bit stiffer, so it really seems like it will scrape their teeth well as they enjoy it.
We received these bones three days ago. Both dogs eagerly accepted them and gnawed on them for the duration of a movie. Roscoe took his to bed and slept with his leg on it all night. Since then, they have both gnawed on them periodically, especially Roscoe, who would eat a collagen stick in 20 minutes, which I hated him doing. These are great. They don't splinter and although I haven't tried one myself, they apparently taste good to them. I'll see how long these ones last before I start getting regular shipments, but I will definitely get more.
My puppies LOVE Savannah treats!! They dig in immediately & chew, gnaw & gobble them up as fast as they can! We rely on Savannah products to keep our pups happy & healthy!!
My pup loves these bones and I love that they last a long time as he is a very aggressive chewer. Typically he will have a regular bone done in around 15-20 min. These last him hours. To the point where I take it away from him so he can take a break for a while. I have also tried the long bone, the cane bone, the tendon, and the braided one. He loves all of them.
