You Give Treats Because You Love Them. Here Are 7 Reasons Your Dog's Gut Might Disagree
It's not about cutting treats out. It's about one ingredient that has to be caught at exactly the right moment.
You know the look. The head tilt, the perfect sit, the eyes following your hand to the treat drawer.
Of course you give in. Treats are how you say good boy and I missed you.
But maybe you've also turned the bag over and not recognized half the ingredients. Or wondered if the gas, soft stools, or upset stomachs have something to do with what you hand over every day.
The good news: you don't have to stop. You just need to know what your dog's gut actually needs, and why the key ingredient in our newest treat is a banana you'd never eat.

INFLAMMATION
01
Most Treats Are Made for Your Dog's Tongue, Not Their Gut
Bold flavors, strong smells, flashy bags. Most treats are designed for one job: get eaten fast.
But a treat built for flavor first often gives your dog's gut nothing to work with. And since most dogs get treats every day, that adds up to a lot of food doing nothing for the part of them that matters most.
So what would a treat look like if it were designed for the gut first? For us, it started with a strange decision about bananas.
ENERGY
02
The Banana Has to Be Green (A Ripe One Would Undo the Whole Point)
A ripe yellow banana is mostly sugar. A green, unripe banana is packed with resistant starch.
Resistant starch isn't broken down early in digestion, so it travels to the gut, where it acts as a prebiotic fiber: food for the good bacteria that live there.
The catch is that as a banana ripens, that resistant starch turns into sugar. That's why every Wigglestix starts with whole Australian green bananas, gently dried while still green to help preserve what makes them special.
Most treats are something your dog digests. Wigglestix are designed to help nourish the gut itself. And what that means for the rest of your dog is where it gets interesting. (More in reason #4.)
WEIGHT
03
Gentle Enough for Sensitive Tummies
If your dog has a sensitive stomach, you know the routine: careful food switches, worried backyard checks, and that dreaded 3am sound.
Wigglestix pair naturally easy-to-digest green banana with pumpkin, a dog-parent favorite for supporting digestion and helping promote well-formed stools. There are no heavy animal proteins and no mystery additives.
JOINTS
04
A Healthy Gut Supports More Than Digestion
Here's the payoff from reason #2. A large part of your dog's immune system is closely connected to the gut.
Green banana contains resistant starch and antioxidants that help support a strong immune system. So a gut-friendly treat isn't just about firmer stools. It's about keeping them bright, playful, and first to the door when the leash comes out, for as many good years as you get together.
GUT HEALTH
05
Spoil Them Without Worrying About Their Waistline
It's hard to say no to those eyes, but extra treats can mean extra weight.
The resistant starch in green banana and the fiber in oats help support a healthy weight and keep your dog satisfied. Green banana also provides a slow release of energy instead of a sugar hit.
You still get to say yes. You just get to feel good about it.
LONGEVITY
06
A Short Ingredient List You Can Actually Read
Whole gentle-dried Australian green banana, a prebiotic fiber source
Oats, for energy and fiber
Pumpkin, to support digestion
Cassava, a gluten-free starch
Coconut glycerin, for soft texture and mild sweetness
Coconut oil, healthy fats to support brain function
VET APPROVED
07
They'll Love Them (And You'll Love Giving Them)
Wigglestix are soft, chewy, and mildly sweet, and the stick shape makes them easy to hand out after walks or during training.
So the head tilt, the perfect sit, and the eyes on your hand can be the good part again, with no second-guessing. It's a treat that shows your love on the outside and supports them on the inside.

Customer Reviews
I adopted a 2 year old Maltese and they gave me some food with her but I’m vegan so I wanted to see how she would adjust so after 1 day when she barely ate I put a little bowl of V dog next to her food dish and she immediately started chowing down. She loves the V-dog! I’m so happy!
Dog loves the food. Her tummy loves the food. The animals that don't get eaten love the food.
In a world of marketing gimmicks, I appreciate the minimalist packaging. Will continue to buy two small dogs every 6 weeks or so.
Thanks!
I mix dry kibble with rice, peas, wet food, and green lipped mussels and he loves it!
My dog loves V dog kibble. The product is always great.
I had been feeding my 2 little guys the full-sized kibble. My littlest one, who is 10 now, has started having vomiting. We found out that he has an issue with his stomach opening that could have been causing it. The mini bites seem to work much better now. They are MUCH more expensive, I'm not sure why, but I buy 4 bags at a time and they are not as expensive.
My neighbors, when they found out I'm vegan, assumed my dog wasn't and started joking about it. But the joke didn't stick because, yes, my dog is vegan too and super healthy, partly because of v-dog kibble. I usually add a little water to it and let it sit for awhile before serving, and it's a similar texture to canned.
My dog enjoys this kibble, she’s never reluctant to eat it. I’m glad I was able to find her an alternative that doesn’t involve animal suffering. My only complaint is the price, if it weren’t as expensive I’m sure a lot more people would transition their pets.
Aw, I’m so grateful—the veterinarian is amazed by the incredible wellness of our elderly dogs! And our little Shih Tzu & rat terrier gobble V-dog up! I’m so grateful to be able to have such happy, healthy and playful little guys without feeding them things of factory farmed animals—or animals at all! All thanks to V-Dog! Thank you so much for existing!

There is nothing better than this high quality, comprehensively nutritious, ethical food for dogs. Good for dogs, planet, no farm animals killed, happy food for humanity.
Noelle is 13 years old and has been eating V Dog for about 6 years now. I took her for a checkup last month and her vet couldn't believe she is 13! He said she looks and acts much younger. Then he asked me what food she eats. I proudly told him she eats V Dog, and he had never heard of it. So it was great to spread awareness about your amazing product!
