History[edit | edit source]

Frosty Paws was originally developed in the 1970s by Dr. William Tyznik, a professor of animal science at The Ohio State University. The product was initially called "Pet79" and was later renamed Frosty Paws. In 1991, the brand was acquired by Nestlé, which integrated it into its Purina line of pet products.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

Frosty Paws treats are formulated to be safe for dogs, avoiding ingredients that are harmful to them, such as chocolate and xylitol. The primary ingredients typically include water, soy flour, sugar, vegetable oil, and various vitamins and minerals. The treats are available in different flavors, including original, peanut butter, and other dog-friendly varieties.
