Driven by the belief that dogs are family, we at Montego have championed pet care excellence in South Africa for the past 24 years. And now, we’re bringing our best dog treats to the United States with the launch of our Karoo Wild and Bags O’ Wags products.

Read on for all the details on our healthy dog treats, the different varieties, and why you can feel good about feeding them to your best friend.

Get to Know Karoo Wild…

Super-premium and packed with lean protein, our Karoo Wild dog treats are low in fat and contain delicious African antelope meat from its namesake region.

The arid, semidesert Karoo expanse, well-known for its natural beauty and distinct wildlife, was once teeming with antelope. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

You see, game farming has historically been sustainable and economically beneficial to the Karoo. However, a 2011 antelope meat export ban had devastating consequences, almost collapsing the local game meat industry. This is where we come in – at Montego, we’re committed to reviving the sector from our base in the Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet.

Our Karoo Wild healthy dog treats are made using real African antelope meat. The meat, sourced as offcuts, creates a new market for local farmers and supports the regional economy. All this while also promoting environmental sustainability.

Real African Antelope: The Best Dog Treats for Your Best Friend

Available in three shapes and sizes (4 oz. Training Bits, 8 oz. Trail Bites, and 16 oz. Sticks), there’s a gamey Karoo Wild treat for every breed and occasion. Each variety comes in three tasty flavors, packed with benefits:

• Oregano: Beyond its culinary appeal, oregano is an antioxidant-rich, natural antibiotic.
• Rosemary: Prized for its earthy depth, rosemary also aids digestion, eases muscle pain, and is even thought to boost cognitive function.
• Thyme: Known for its subtle aroma and use as a natural antifungal agent, thyme promotes proper digestion and offers immune support.

These herbs, along with other thoughtfully selected ingredients like peas, fish oil, sweet potato, and – of course – hearty antelope meat, ensure your dog’s taste buds never grow bored. And the best part? Our wholesome formulation also aids in canine health, happiness, and longevity.

Finally, since antelopes are free-roaming and feed on all-natural vegetation, their meat is completely organic and free of hormones and artificial additives. It’s also an excellent alternative protein source for dogs with food sensitivities to more traditional meats like chicken and pork.

… And Bags O’ Wags!

Affordably priced and whimsically mouthwatering, our Bags O’ Wags collection of dog treats has something to please every canine palate. Like Karoo Wild, you can rest assured that all ingredients are of the highest quality to satisfy you and your pup.

Here’s why dogs are already howling about Bags O’ Wags:

• Sensory-Stimulating Shapes: From teeny-tiny dogs to classic bones and sticks, there’s more to our fun treat shapes than visual appeal. In fact, they also offer an engaging sensory experience that’ll leave your dog barking for more.
• Thoughtful Flavors: You’ll find savory and sweet treats (more on that in a bit!) in this range, allowing your dog to indulge in both meaty and dessert-inspired snacks.
• Impressive Ingredients: Our Bags O’ Wags treats contain only responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients, resulting in a satisfying experience for both dogs and parents!

Playful Dog Treats for All Breeds

Our Bags O’ Wags range is divided into two distinct varieties: Squishies and Chewies.

Bite-sized and, as their name implies, soft and supple, Squishies come in 18 oz. tubs and three drool-inducing dessert flavors: Strawberry & Cream, Caramel & Cream, and Chocolate & Vanilla. But don’t fret! They’re 100% xylitol-free, making them a safe training reward or an extra little treat to show your dog you love them.

Chewies, on the other hand, are our longer-lasting, savory Bags O’ Wags dog treats. Choose between Beef, Chicken, Bacon, and Peanut Butter flavored treats in a host of shapes and sizes. And, depending on your best friend’s appetite, they’re available in either 18 oz. or 3.5 lb. tubs. Low in both fat and sugar, Chewies help dogs maintain a healthy weight and waistline.

Safe, Sustainably Sourced & Scrumptious

At Montego, we always prioritize pet health and safety. Containing only the finest ingredients, both Karoo Wild and Bags O’ Wags are classified as fit for human consumption. So you can feel confident treating your pup.

Not only are our dog treats USDA-approved, but our safety management systems adhere to HACCP guidelines. This is a testament to the high standards throughout our production facilities.

We produce dry pet food and treats at our facilities in Graaff-Reinet, Eastern Cape, and Centurion, Gauteng – both are FSSC 2200 accredited for strict quality control.

Furthermore, we received industry recognition as Supplier of the Year from prominent organizations such as the KAL Group, a JSE-listed company with a R22.4 billion turnover. We also ranked sixty-second on PetfoodIndustry’s list of Top Pet Food Companies worldwide.

And, as we’ve mentioned before, environmental stewardship and humane practices are of the utmost importance to us. So, when you buy any of our products, know you’re contributing to the well-being of both South African land and wildlife. Low on environmental impact and full on flavor, we bring joy to dogs, their people, and the planet.
