Why Gut Health Matters for Pets — And How Our Treats Support It Naturally

Waboose Biscuits + Indigenous Strips = Treats That Do More Than Taste Good

At Shades of Gray Indigenous Pet Treats, every treat we create starts with a question: How can we help pets live longer, healthier lives—naturally?

The answer? It starts in the gut.

As more pet parents learn about the connection between gut health and total wellness, we’re proud to offer treats that are as functional as they are flavourful. Our Waboose Snack Biscuits and Indigenous Strips were created with digestive support in mind—using only real, nutrient-rich ingredients and proteins you can trust.

🌿 Waboose Biscuits: Simple Ingredients, Powerful Benefits

Our beloved Waboose Biscuits are more than just a crunchy snack. They're made with only three premium ingredients that work together to support gut balance and promote whole-body health:

Organic Chickpea Flour – A gentle, grain-free alternative rich in plant-based protein and fibre, chickpeas support digestive regularity and are easier on sensitive stomachs.

Rabbit Topper (Waboose) – This single-ingredient protein is lean, novel, and ideal for pets with sensitivities or allergies. Packed throughout the biscuit—not just sprinkled on top—every bite supports muscle health and energy levels.

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother – A natural probiotic powerhouse. ACV helps balance gut flora, reduce inflammation, and support immune function—especially when used consistently.

🐇 Why Rabbit (Waboose)? A Traditional and Nutritional Powerhouse

In Ojibwe tradition, Waboose (rabbit) is more than a food source—it’s part of a sacred connection to the land. That respect is carried into every step of how we raise, process, and use rabbit in our treats.

As a protein, rabbit is:

  • Lean and low in fat

  • Easy to digest

  • Rich in iron and B vitamins

It’s a smart option for dogs with allergies, and one that doesn’t compromise on taste or nutrition. 

🍖 Indigenous Strips: High-Value, High-Impact Treats

Made from 100% single protein—nothing added, nothing artificial—our Indigenous Strips are ideal for training, travel, or everyday rewards. They’re gently dehydrated to lock in nutrients, making them one of the cleanest high-value treats you can offer.

Whether you’re reinforcing good behaviour or managing a sensitive tummy, these strips are a trusted go-to for pet parents across Canada.

🐾 Wellness You Can Trust

We believe that when you feed better, your pet lives better—and we’re proud to see that mission recognized. In 2024, we were featured though out the year in both Animal Wellness Magazine and Canadian Dogs Magazine, where they named our products as an innovative pet product made in Canada.

From the ingredients we source to the way we produce each treat, every step honours our commitment to:

  • Indigenous values of respect and stewardship

  • Transparency in ingredients

  • Long-term pet health and vitality
