SALMON SNACKERS
RUFUS BFF Salmon Snackers are made from 100 % USA Farm-Raised Salmon which is one of nature’s most nutritious food sources.
Freeze-dried USA Farm-Raised Salmon Snackers are savory treats your BFF will love and are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, especially the all-important long chain fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Salmon Snackers are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as potassium, vitamins D, B-12, and B-5.
Salmon is classified as “very low” in mercury, being surpassed in bony fish by only sardine and tilapia - this according to The U.S. FDA (“Food & Drug Administration”) Monitoring Program (1998-2009). Salmon is considered a well-established premier choice for fish consumption.
Salmon Snackers Beast Treats are made using only the filet meat of the salmon (just like salmon you buy at the fish counter), but very fine delicate “pin bones” can, on rare occasion, be included during processing. Pin bones are very similar to bones we find in canned sardines which are usually eaten whole by both humans and animals.
- There is only 1 single ingredient in our Salmon Snackers: Salmon. Nothing else.
- No added salt, sugar, fillers, chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or preservatives.

Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamins, Amino Acids and Minerals
Salmon Snackers are one of the absolute best sources for Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Salmon is renowned for its high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA. These are essential for:
- Brain Health: Enhancing cognitive functions, which can help keep your BFF sharp and responsive.
- Heart Health: Reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health.
High-Quality Protein and Protein Precursors: Salmon isn't just about fatty acids; it's also packed with high-quality protein and necessary amino acids:
- Muscle Maintenance: Essential for muscle repair and growth, keeping your BFF strong and active – this is, of course, a great benefit to older dogs and cats, as well as those recovering from injury or sickness.
- Rich in Essential Amino Acids: These are the building blocks of proteins that all animals need.

Livestock and Environmental Sustainability
Livestock and Environmental Sustainability
For our products, RUFUS BFF sought out farms and processors that share our vision of providing products based on acceptable farming practices, including sustainability.
Salmon Snackers are made using Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA", US Dept of Commerce) states: "Atlantic salmon in the United States were once native to almost every coastal river northeast of the Hudson River in New York. But dams, pollution, and overfishing reduced their population size until the fisheries closed in 1948. Commercial and recreational fishing for wild sea-run Atlantic salmon is still prohibited in the United States. All Atlantic salmon in the public market is cultured and commercially grown."
Our farmed fish providers take environmental sustainability seriously and, adhere to best practices that have been established by North America and European fishing industry standards.
