• RUKU BARS are formulated to support sustained energy for muscle recovery, joint health and improved metabolism through REAL MEAT recipes for your canines.
• RUKU BARS use mess free, and ready to go in convenient resealable packaging.
• RUKU BARS are air-dried at low temperatures to lock in peak quality and nutritional content.
• RUKU BARS were formulated by our founder - a Stanford PhD in biochemistry with a focus in cellular and molecular physiology, to cater to the unique metabolic demands of active dogs.

RUKU BARS are made with ethically sourced 100% high quality, human grade Non-GMO ingredients from regenerative family farms in Washington and Oregon. They do not contain fillers or byproducts of any kind. RUKU BARS are made with 100% whole muscle meat and whole organs.

YES! RUKU BARS are 100% grain free, soy free, legume free and corn free. We go so far as to eliminate even common "healthy" protein fillers such as chickpea or potatoes.

RUKU BARS contain a higher fat and protein content relative to most treats on the market, and that's because fat is the optimal fuel source for dogs. Fat gets a bad rep for being high calorie, but it's SO important to increase the intake of fats in an active dog's diet. Fats are a highly digestible form of energy for canines. It's responsible for kickstarting all important metabolic functions like muscle and cell regeneration, joint and tissue recovery, reducing inflammation, and helping with nutrient absorption.

RUKU BARS have an 18-month shelf life with an added 4-month shelf life after opening the packaging, but make sure to seal up the resealable packaging to prolong freshness!

Yes! RUKU BARS are lab-tested by an AAFCO accredited lab, you can find the guaranteed analysis on the labels and the product pages.

Feeding RUKU BARS over traditional treats is about reducing metabolic stress in your dog’s body, which we believe leads to better overall health. High-carbohydrate foods like biscuits can force a dog’s metabolism into overdrive, potentially contributing to metabolic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and obesity. In contrast, a high fat snack like RUKU BARS, aligns with a dog’s metabolic needs more effectively, minimizing glucose levels that certain diseases thrive on.

Additionally, while protein from single-ingredient treats can be used as an energy source by dogs through the biosynthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like serine and alanine, relying on protein for energy isn’t ideal. Protein is crucial for essential functions like chemical messengers and reactions, and breaking down muscle protein isn’t optimal for a dog’s health.

By minimizing metabolic stress, RUKU BARS support efficient metabolism and potentially lowers the risk of developing metabolic diseases in dogs. It’s a proactive approach to supporting your active dog’s long-term health and vitality.
