Most of our competitors mass produce their products. At Mika & Sammy’s we make each and every item by hand and in small numbers. We obviously believe in quality over quantity! For instance, when smoking our bones we use a slow smoke technique at very low temperatures to gently infuse the bone, jerky and the marrow with a delicious hickory flavor. This not only strengthens the bones but it also acts asa natural preserver for the bones, meat and the marrow. Most of our competitors don’t even smoke their bones. Instead, they cook their bones and use a chemical called liquid smoke to give the bones a smokey flavor. While cooking the bones actually weakens them, liquid smoke can be harmful if not used right. Our quality over quantity belief also applies when it comes to our dehydrated treats. Instead of using by-products or animal meal, we only use antibiotic and hormone free, all natural human grade ingredients.
