At Casa d’Canine, we like to keep our environment stress-free, “Zen” and
happy. A few months ago, Miss Kira (being the typical Labrador she is)
gave me a heart attack that would have sent the Dalai Lama running for
the hills. She swallowed a 6-inch bully stick whole and almost choked
on it.

Once you’ve reached down your dog’s throat in sheer panic, there’s a bonding
that takes place, and vows are born. Your dog vows to dodge your
presence for a month, and you vow never to purchase treats larger than a
quarter or trust her chewing instincts EVER again. That is, until the
company you’ve adored for years devises a delicious, healthy alternative
for your furry babies to snack on.
The Honest Kitchen® recently introduced
Beams™, and to say we are huge fans
is an understatement. My girls Nina and Kira LOVE fish, and this
ingenious product is made from just one healthy, pristine
ingredient….Icelandic Catfish Skins. Beams™are made from pure,
wild-caught Atlantic Catfish skins from the clean ocean waters of
Iceland and dried into savory, chewy sticks that break down easily but
still afford a great chewing sensation. (Atlantic Catfish is a marine
fish, which is different from domestic freshwater catfish found in the
United States). Not only are
Beams™ a safer alternative to tough bully
sticks or chicken jerky imported from unknown places, they are an
excellent source of lean protein, are grain-free and don’t contain any
artificial ingredients, preservatives or fillers.
On average, each piece contains about 26.7 calories. They are low in fat and a great
source of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. If you’re wondering about the
smell….they’re fishy, but just enough to entice your babies. And, they
don’t leave a residue or mess on carpets.

The Honest Kitchen® was founded by Lucy Postins in 2002 (Happy 10th Anniversary!) and offers a diverse line of dehydrated foods for both dogs and
cats, along with yummy treats and natural supplements. THK uses a gentle dehydration process to maintain
the integrity of their human-grade ingredients, and all of their
ingredients are chosen directly from the human food chain. Each of
their diets are carefully blended to encompass a broad array of amino
acids, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and enzymes to help achieve
and maintain optimum health. Nina and Kira happily scarf down
Force™ daily,
and couldn’t be healthier.
Their veterinarian always
comments on their bright eyes, shiny white teeth and “coats that reflect like
water.” Allergies and ear infections are
non-existent at Casa d’Canine, and I attribute my girls’ outstanding physiology
to The Honest Kitchen’s®
pure, holistic approach to keeping all pets happy and healthy.
Beams
are currently available in “Smalls,” about 7 inches long. “Talls” are
in the works and measure about 12 inches long. These tasty, healthy
treats will be a staple at our house along with all of the other THK
treats. No more heart attacks for me, and the girls have something to
satisfy their chewing urges again!
