Multi award-winning sustainable pet treat manufacturer, The Rainforester, which produces ‘Pet Products for the Planet’ has extended its product range with the launch of 19 new natural grain/gluten free dog treats featuring rainforest superfood ingredients.

Packed with healthy and nutritious ingredients, the new range is made in Great Britain and consists of Forest Bars, Forest Bites and Kuli Bites, most of which are made from sustainably sourced British invasive animals where the species are causing havoc on the ecosystem.  These include wild rabbit, venison and crayfish which are combined with rainforest fruit and vegetables to create snacks high in protein and fibre as well as vitamins A, B-3, B-6 and E.  Rainforest superfood vegan options are also featured in the new range including Forest Soil, a meat-free superfood dry food topper.

Lean game meat is a good source of minerals such as iron, zinc, copper and phosphorus and some of the snacks and treats even include the fur from the animal, a great natural way to keep guts clean and healthy.  In addition, crayfish is a good source of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids.

The rainforest superfood ingredients featured in The Rainforester products include cocoyam, peanuts, green banana, moringa, coconut, pumpkin leaf, bitter leaf, scent leaf, eru leaf, turmeric, ginger, ogbono, egusi, mango and pawpaw.  These have a huge range of benefits and feature anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, larvicidal and antipyretic properties, as well as being natural probiotics.

The new product range will be launched in eye-catching, colour coded, compostable packaging and with each purchase money will go towards supporting conservation work both in the UK and around the world.

Jonathan Mbu, co-founder and director of The Rainforester, comments: “Our new product range is a fantastic example of commercial conservation and sustainability and demonstrates how we can popularise and develop non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from the rainforest and combine them with British indigenous animals to create healthy and nutritious treats that dogs love!”
