Starter Pack: Beaver & Rabbit Single-Ingredient Treats for Dogs & Cats
New to Shades of Gray? Start here. The Starter Pack gives your dog or cat a taste of two novel proteins, beaver and rabbit, in three different textures. It's the easiest way to find out what your pet loves before you buy full bags. Every treat is one protein, with nothing else added.
We make these in small batches at our facility on Alderville First Nation using federally inspected meat. The rabbit comes from our own family farm in Ontario, and the beaver is ethically sourced in Ontario. If your pet has food sensitivities, is a picky eater, or you're just starting to switch to single-ingredient treats, this is the pack we'd hand you first.
Sound Familiar?
-
"I want to try single-ingredient treats, but I don't know what my pet will like." This pack gives you two proteins and three textures to test before you commit to full bags.
-
"I've never heard of beaver treats." Beaver is a rich, lean red meat most pets have never tried, which is exactly what makes it great for sensitive pets.
-
"My pet has a sensitive stomach, and I'm nervous about switching treats." Every treat is one ingredient, so you can introduce them slowly and see how your pet does.
-
"I have a dog and a cat." All three treats are safe for both.
What's in the Starter Pack
-
Beaver Rolls (5 rolls): 100% beaver, gently dehydrated. A rich, unique protein most pets have never tried.
-
Rabbit Strips (70g): 100% rabbit from our farm. Thin, easy-to-break strips for training or everyday rewards.
-
Freeze-Dried Rabbit Tenderloin (25g): Light, airy freeze-dried bites. A high-value reward that dogs and cats both go crazy for.

Starter Pack FAQ
Q: How do I switch my dog to single-ingredient treats?
A: Start small. Give one new treat at a time in small pieces and watch how your pet does over a few days before adding another. This pack makes that easy, with two proteins in three textures.
Q: What does single-ingredient mean?
A: It means the treat is made from one thing only. Our Beaver Rolls are 100% beaver, and our rabbit treats are 100% rabbit. No grain, fillers, glycerine, or preservatives.
Q: I'm new to Shades of Gray. Why start with this pack?
A: It's the smallest way to try three of our most popular treats and two proteins at once. Once you know which one your pet loves, you can order that one in a full bag.
Q: Is the Starter Pack good for pets with allergies?
