New Natural Nudges® Dog Treats Will Have Dogs Chasing More Than Their Tails

SPRINGDALE, Ark., June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As families head outdoors for a season of backyard grilling, Tyson Pet Products^®, the maker of wholesome dog treats, is giving pet parents two new ways to ensure their four-legged friends can share in the "tastes of summer" with the introduction of Nudges Grillers dog treats and Nudges Sizzlers dog treats. These new varieties of tender savory dog treats look, taste and smell like they came straight off the grill, offering a safer alternative to traditional grill out fare.

The primary ingredient in Nudges Grillers dog treats and Nudges Sizzlers dog treats is USA farm-raised beef or chicken, enabling doting dog owners to indulge their pets with the same savory flavors they enjoy during summer grill outs. Both new lines of bite-sized wholesome dog treats are 100 percent made in the USA using only simple, natural ingredients, and contain no fillers or artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

Nudges Grillers dog treats and Nudges Sizzlers dog treats are available in the following varieties:

• Nudges Grillers Dog Treats Made with Real Steak
• Nudges Grillers Dog Treats Made with Real Chicken
• Nudges Sizzlers Dog Treats Made with Real Beef & Cheese
• Nudges Sizzlers Dog Treats Made with Real Chicken & Apple

"Our pets are a big part of making summer memories," said Dr. Katy Nelson, Certified Veterinary Journalist and Nudges brand spokesperson. "While offering them a treat off the picnic table is enticing, some foods can wreak havoc on their gastrointestinal system. Nudges Grillers dog treats and Nudges Sizzlers dog treats offer dog owners wholesome and safe treats that let their pets join in the summer grilling fun."

Dr. Nelson offers the following tips for keeping pets safe during family cookouts:

• Banish bites from the table – Some common ingredients found in our favorite summer dishes such as garlic, onion and onion powder can be dangerous for pets. Opt for a tasty treat made specifically for dogs.
• Keep the grill clean – Grease and juice drippings left in the bottom of the grill catch can be hard for pets to resist. Ensure active grills are never left unattended and are regularly cleaned afterward to avoid temptation and potential pet stomach upset.
• Keep the trash canned – Never leave bags of grilling leftovers unattended. Steak bones, greasy tin foil and buttery corn cobs are all too tempting for even the most disciplined pooches.

Nudges Grillers dog treats and Nudges Sizzlers dog treats are available in 3 ounce, 10 ounce and 18 ounce packages in the pet departments of grocery stores nationwide for average suggested retail prices of $3.99 (small), $9.99 (medium) and $14.99 (large).
