Finding a sugar free icing alternative for people is nearly impossible - finding one developed for dogs, well, even fewer options. Being able to provide dog owners and dog treat bakers with a sugar free coating has been a huge passion for us. Our dog Sammy is more than just a pet, he is like family. And trying to give him the best out there is important to us. In trying to watch out for his health ('cause if it was up to him, he'd eat ANYTHING) is very important to us. A sugar free icing for him would make us feel so good!
No doubt you will understand when we say that after hours of searching on the net for sugar free icing recipes that would hold up to retail packaging and shipping, we were ready to give up. But many of our customers were continuing to ask for a sugar free alternative - we just had to do something.
So we developed our own sugar free icing mixes. Our Sugar Free Dog Treat Icing line is just that - no added sugar, no artificial sweetners, no hydrogenated fats, and contains dietary fiber for your puppy too!!
We know that there are others out there offering a sugar free dog treat icing mix. We have checked them out. To boil it down for you - their product contains hydrogenated fats (which we are opposed to.). In fact when we tried their product, the chunks of hydrogenated fats didn't melt all the way. Basically what we found was that they had taken yogurt powder and mixed it with coating flow crystals also know as paramount crystals (hydrogenated fat). They call their product natural too - not sure how with it containing hydrogenated fats (those aren't natural). While you may have options, make sure to read the labels completely and know what you are getting.
As always, if you have any questions - about our products or other products you see out there - we will do our best to answer them (and we'll give you an unbiased answer).
We have gotten some questions on our new Sugar Free line of dog treat icing mixes - specifically "What is Maltodextrin?"
Well, in order to answer your question - we will have to get a little technical. First the facts: there are many types of maltodextrins on the market - and many of them do contribute sugars. However not all maltodextrin are created equal.
We are using a patented brand of maltodextrin called Fibersol-2. Fibersol-2 is a digestion resistant maltodextrin. So what is that? Digestion resistant maltodextrin is resistant to digestion and passes through the digestive system undigested. No absorbption occurs. It is a unique product and we are very excited to have found it.
Fibersol-2 digestion resistant maltodextrin is FIBER!!!
