Product overview

In the last 30 years tens of thousands of good, local fishing jobs in America have been lost as small, sustainable, family-owned fishing operations have given way to massive, international commercial trawlers that rake the seabed and ravage the sea. Communities have been decimated, and in some coastal towns a once vibrant way of life has been all but lost.

We are proud to support American fishermen by using only Sagamore fish in our pet products. This high quality wild fish, which would otherwise be underutilized, comes to us directly from local ports just as the day's catch is going on ice. Because we're focused on sourcing fish exclusively from local fish piers, we are helping to sustain local fishing jobs, fishing culture and fishing community’s right in our back yard. | 3oz bag

Pier6

Pier6 is a project we developed as part of a partnership with Boston fisherman. The focus is on making treats from fish species that are overly abundant in local waters. By doing this, we are creating healthy treats and ways for fisherman to earn income that didnt previously exist. Pier6 is good for pets and good for people.

Farm to Friend

When it comes to food, “farm to table” is the best, healthiest, most sustainable philosophy for both farmers and consumers. But until recently no one had brought that same approach to pet products. Instead there are hundreds of so-called healthy products that talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk.

Now, Whole Life Pet Treats has created “Farm to Friend”: the world’s first treats for your four-legged friends made with fresh ingredients from farmers, ranchers and fishermen we know- with no “mystery meats” and no middleman. Our freeze-dried treats are made in our own state-of-the-art facility in the beautiful Berkshires of western Massachusetts.

Farm to Friend: For the Life of Your Pet

For you, Farm to Friend means trust: it means never having to worry about where your pet’s treats came from or what is in them. Our treats are always made from 100% human-quality, hormone-free, free range and organic meat — with no chemicals, preservatives, additives or artificial fillers EVER.

For your pet, Farm to Friend means taste: we guarantee your dog or cat will love our treats! But our promise doesn’t stop with taste. That’s because our treats are made with 100% species-appropriate ingredients to keep their bodies healthy: full of nutrients they need (and nothing they don’t).

Farm to Friend: Means Going Back to Basics

Today too many dogs and cats are suffering from the same ill health effects as human, including weight gain, diabetes, joint problems, food allergies and cancers. It doesn’t take a scientist to know why: pets are eating too many grains and cheap fillers, too many chemicals and preservatives, too many things that are not what their bodies are made for.

Whole Life Pet Treats are good for your pet. They are low in fat, low in calorie, low in carbohydrates and high in flavor. They are perfect for pets with allergy, weight and digestive problems. They are perfect for your dog or cat!

Meet Our Supplier

Our Fish: All of our fish is wild caught and shipped directly to Boston where its cleaned, cubed and flash frozen by our fish supplier, Red’s Best. There are no additives, chemicals or preservatives used at any step in the process. Product is then shipped directly to our facility where it is freeze dried and packaged in house by our staff.

What is Freeze Drying?

"Freeze-drying" is the purest process that exists for making pet treats. It is a unique process that provides product characteristics that cannot be achieved with any other food processing method. The process starts by flash freezing meat or fish in a special vacuum chamber that reaches -50 to -60F or below. As low-level heat is applied (much less than dehydrating), the ice crystals evaporate. This process, called "sublimation", removes approximately 98% of the moisture, preserving the product in its natural state without the use of any chemicals, additives or preservatives. Freeze drying allows our products to maintain their nutritional integrity without any loss of essential vitamins, minerals, essential fats or any other characteristic they had prior to being freeze dried.

Why are Freeze Dried Treats Better for my Pet than Other Kinds of Treats?

Freeze-drying provides very unique benefits and advantages over other food processing methods. Frozen foods maintain their fresh flavor, but they must remain frozen. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf-stable, but their high-temperature processing reduces their flavor, texture, color, and nutrients. Freeze-drying combines the best of these methods--it locks in the freshness, color, original shape, texture, and aroma of frozen food while providing the shelf-stable convenience of canned or dehydrated food.
