Charcuterie boards have infiltrated dog treats, thanks to Trader Joe’s.
@TraderJoesList, the unaffiliated account on Instagram that shares the latest TJ finds, published a post featuring the appropriately named Chew-Cuterie treats, saying, “My puppers Bu and Pot Pie are so excited for this box of treats! Pot Pie is happy as she loves meaty treats while Bu will eat anything! It’s a one size fits all box of treats!”
“Chew-cuterie” boards come in a 10-ounce box of assorted dog cookies has flavors like cheddar cheese, salami, provolone cheese, and prosciutto.
Before you ask, it was already brought up. there were a few voices of discontent, taking issue with the ingredients used to make these treats. “These can’t be healthy for dogs,” one person wrote, “they are packed with preservatives.”
However, the back of the snack box clearly states that these are meant as treats, not meals.
The other issue one person brings up is with the use of palm oils: “I think palm oil is bad for dogs though,” they commented on the post.
What’s likely being referenced is the palm oil warnings given by organizations like Vets Now related to toxic blobs of palm oil that were recently appearing on English beaches.
Pet Honesty affirms that palm oil in its natural form is okay. The more general issue with palm oil, as Healthline explains, is mostly its environmental impact.
