They chose tomato paste for these treats because it is loaded with vitamin C and carotenoids – the most popular being beta-carotene and lycopene. Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that help protect the cells of the body from damage caused by free radicals. Lycopene and beta-carotene have been shown to enhance immune function by improving the oxidant to antioxidant balance. They have also added parsley and oregano to pack this treat full of antioxidants and great flavor. Plus, parsley is a natural breath freshener, which any dog can benefit from!

Why was the first tomato known to many as the Wolf Peach?

According to old German folklore, witches used plants of the nightshade family to evoke werewolves, a practice known as lycanthropy. The common German name for tomatoes translates to “wolf peach”, and was avoided for obvious reasons. In the 18th century Carl Linnaeus conjured up binomial nomenclature to name species, and took note of this legend when he named the tomato Lycopersicon esculentum, which literally means, “edible wolf peach”.
