Every Dog Has The Heart Of A Mountain Dog

WHY SUBLIMATION?

There are two ways to preserve treats, freeze drying and dehydration. We choose to Freeze Dry our treats because dehydrated meat has the moisture cooked out, and many of the essential nutrients are destroyed.

By skipping the condensation phase and going straight from a frozen fish treat to an almost weightless treat for your dog, we preserve all the important nutrients and enzymes, and sublimate away the water and with it, the weight.

Mountain Dog™ treats are nutritious and weightless, with a crunch your dog will love.

OUR SECRET

Salmon bellies have long been prized by us, and our fellow Alaskans who know, as the best part of the fish that doesn’t fit into a fillet. Salmon bellies hold the highest fat and oil content, but also have a small portion of bone, cartilage and calcium from the fin to provide a balanced nutritional profile. It’s mostly trim, with extra vital nutrition included.

OUR SECRET

1

Our process starts with 100% wild-caught Alaskan salmon, responsibly sourced from pristine waters. We use the most nutrient-rich part — the belly — packed with healthy fats, calcium, and cartilage to deliver complete, natural nutrition in every bite.

2

We use sublimation — a no-heat, freeze-drying process — to remove moisture while preserving the protein, Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), and essential enzymes. This method keeps the treat raw, flavorful, and nutritionally potent without any preservatives or additives.

3

Each batch is made and packed in Alaska with care. The result is a shelf-stable, lightweight treat with a satisfying crunch — no fillers, grains, or artificial ingredients. Just clean, wild nutrition your dog will love and you can trust.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes!  The nutrients, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids are good for your dog’s overall health, joint health, mental health and clarity, and even their shiny coat! Mountain Dog treats can also play a big role in keeping their immune systems strong.

Mountain Dog treats are made with only  100% wild Alaskan salmon. Just one ingredient with no fillers, preservatives or noxious substances.

Always make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water when you give Mountain Dog Treats, since water is removed, your dog will want a drink after a treat!

100% Wild Alaska Salmon.  That’s it.

We produce products for canines, and so we do not recommend these treats be eaten by humans. Raw meat is raw meat, and while freeze drying preserves the meat for extended periods of time, it is still raw meat, and the FDA does not recommend consumption of raw meat for humans. 

Yes! Being a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, salmon can be a perfect treat for cats and is often already found in commercial cat food.

Our Salmon Mini treats are a perfect size for your feline friend. 

Currently, we ship FREE anywhere in the United States… and by United States, we mean all 50 states.  

If you don’t live in Alaska or Hawaii, you may not understand the significance, but if you DO, you get it.  

Yes, according to Dr Andrew Miller MRCVS, of Pure Pet foods, dogs can eat cooked salmon and it’s just as nutritious for your pooch as it is for you. In fact, many of the health benefits of eating salmon do transfer to our furry friends.

Salmon is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3, and vital vitamins including vitamins A, B, and D as well as minerals like potassium and selenium. This nutritious fish, particularly the omega-3 fatty acids, will work wonders for your pup’s coat, prevent inflammation, and help to maintain healthy muscles and growth.

A dog food topper is a supplement or addition to your dog’s regular food designed to enhance its flavor, nutritional value, or both. Toppers are often used to entice picky eaters, improve mealtime enjoyment, or provide specific health benefits. They come in various forms, including:

  1. Wet or Gravy Toppers: Sauces or broths poured over dry kibble to make it more palatable.
  2. Freeze-Dried or Dehydrated Toppers: Protein-packed morsels or crumbles made from meats, vegetables, or superfoods.
  3. Fresh or Cooked Toppers: Whole foods like cooked chicken, rice, or vegetables added to a dog’s meal.
  4. Powdered Toppers: Nutrient-dense powders made from ingredients like bone meal or probiotics that can be sprinkled on food.
  5. Specialty Toppers: Designed for specific needs, such as joint health, digestion, or skin and coat health.
 

Using a dog food topper can make meals more appealing while boosting the nutritional profile of the food. It’s essential to check the ingredients for quality and ensure the topper complements your dog’s dietary needs without adding excessive calories.

Due to the nature of the conditions of the cold waters of Alaska, the bacteria that can cause salmon poisoning is not able to develop.

  1. It is packed with healthy protein
  2. It’s perfect for picky eaters
  3. It is highly digestible
  4. It is a great source of B vitamins, potassium and selenium
  5. It promotes shiny coats and healthy skin
  6. It actually helps with allergies
  7. Omega-3 Fatty acids help improve joint  mobility
  1. Freeze Drying removes virtually all moisture.  This results in an intensified flavor.  When your dog eats a Mountain Dog Freeze Dried treat, their saliva helps reconstitute the salmon while IN their mouth.  

    It’s a bit like crackers by themselves… you would want a drink to go with it, and so would your furry friend. 

    It’s a good idea to always have plenty of fresh water on hand for your dog and cat.

Absolutely amazing! My unbelievably picky pup now finishes all her dinner, thanks to the Salmon Topper. Both my pups can't get enough of the treats either! They started making up their own tricks, just for the treats! Love the product, love the company! Thank you for your service.

It's not just dogs, my cat Garfield loves AK Mountain Dog treats too!

Koda has never been so excited for a treat than the Mountain Dog ones. He rarely eats salmon, so I’m surprised. He LOVES them but I’m rationing them.

Support From the Inside Out

Mountain Dog treats aren’t just delicious — they’re packed with real nutrition your dog needs to thrive. Naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, these treats help reduce inflammation, support joint health, and promote a shiny, healthy coat. The pure salmon protein fuels lean muscle and energy, while being easy to digest and gentle on sensitive stomachs. With no grains, fillers, or artificial ingredients, they’re a perfect fit for dogs with allergies or dietary restrictions — and their low calorie count makes them great for training or everyday rewards. It’s real, whole-food health in every bite.

Real Ingredients. Real Nutrition.

Every Mountain Dog treat starts with 100% wild-caught Alaskan salmon — no fillers, no additives, just real fish from the icy waters of Alaska. We use the salmon belly, the richest part of the fish, packed with natural fats, calcium, and cartilage for full-spectrum nutrition. Instead of cooking out the nutrients through heat, we freeze-dry our treats through sublimation — skipping the moisture phase entirely — which preserves protein, enzymes, and Omega-3s like EPA and DHA. The result? A clean, crunchy treat that’s lightweight, shelf-stable, and built to fuel your dog with exactly what nature intended.
