Do Charlee Bear treats contain garlic?

We have researched the current concern about garlic and have been advised that at the level it is in our treats it does not present any problem. There is about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder in 100 pounds of treats. That means that a dog would have to eat 100 of our 1 pound bags to get 1 teaspoon of garlic. Since there are about 400 treats to a bag that means that a dog would have to eat 40,000 treats to get just 1 teaspoon of garlic. This tiny bit of garlic has always been a part of our recipe and we believe it helps give it the flavor dogs love. We have been making Charlee Bears for over 17 years and all of us at Charlee Bear Products have been giving them to our dogs for all of that time. Please go to www.dog-health-guide.org/dog for more information on garlic.

Do Charlee Bear treats contain salt and sodium?

We have included salt at a very low level. There is about 1 tablespoon of salt in 100 pounds of our liver type treats and about 2 tablespoons in 100 pounds of our Cheese&Egg Treats. That means that your dog would have to eat 100 bags of our 1 pound bags to get 1 tablespoon of salt. Even if your dog ate one, one pound bag per week, it would take almost a year to eat 1 tablespoon of salt.

Salt is about 1/3 sodium. 100 grams of salt contains about 39 grams of sodium. So in 1 tablespoon of salt there is about 1 teaspoon of sodium
