From the Mississippi River to your pet’s treat jar: Are Pezzy’s single ingredient fish maw pet treats a tasty solution to halting the silver carp’s U.S. invasion?
What is Fish Maw?
Fish Maw is the silver carp’s bladder. It has long been viewed as a delicious Asian delicacy, typically served at weddings and other special celebrations. I wasn’t aware that silver carp had invaded the Mississippi River until I stumbled across Pezzy’s fish maw treats and learned more about how and where Pezzy sources its wild-caught silver carp. In the United States, Pezzy sources this abundant fish from small-scale native fisheries, thereby supporting those fisheries while reducing the number of silver carp overwhelming local ecosystems. One can learn more about the silver carp invasion by watching The Fight Against America’s Most Hated Fish: Asian Carp. It’s not hard to spot the carp as they energetically soar in and out of the water.
Is Fish Maw Good for My Pet?
When I initially discovered Pezzy’s fish maw chews, I was impressed with the chew’s high-protein, low fat analysis. Rich with collagen, calcium, phosphorous, and iron, Pezzy’s chews check all the boxes required for a healthy pet treat. Since I am always seeking to reduce my carbon footprint, I was happy to learn that purchasing Pezzy’s Fish Maw Chew is a great way for me to reduce my dog’s environmental pawprint while providing him with a tasty three-calorie treat. Fish maw chew’s sinewy texture provides my dog with a satisfying chewing session without being too difficult for him to chew on.
A Guilt-free Sustainable Pet Treat
Because the Great Lakes is connected to the Mississippi River via a man-made canal system, the native fish in the Great Lakes might become the next victims of the invasive carp if the population in the Mississippi River is not controlled. Pezzy’s Fish Maw Chews are a guilt-free purchase helping to protect our endangered native fish population from extinction.
