Looks Like Chocolate Spread. Is Anything But:
Mutelo's rich, deep brown colour and silky-smooth texture might remind you of a certain hazelnut spread - but make no mistake, chocolate is toxic to dogs, and Mutelo is its complete opposite. This is pure ancestral nourishment, made from real beef bone marrow tallow, with all the indulgence and none of the harm. It's the Pets Elite Ancestral Lifestyle in spoonable form, built on BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) principles: real ingredients, minimal processing, honest preparation.
Why Is It Called Mutelo?
MU - from "Muh," the unmistakable sound of cattle. TELO - from Tallow, the rich, nourishing fat that forms the heart of every jar. Mutelo means real cattle, real tallow, real nourishment.
Foundation Food. Modern Indulgence.
For thousands of years, bone marrow and tallow have been recognised across cultures as one of nature's great foundation foods. Dogs' wild ancestors didn't just eat muscle meat - they sought out fat and marrow, and thrived on the richness inside. Mutelo takes that same ancestral wisdom and turns it into a jar. No fillers, no bulking agents, no shortcuts.
Real Nutrition in Every Scoop:
Bone marrow tallow is naturally rich in bioavailable fats and nutrients traditionally linked to skin, coat, joint and immune support. Natural collagen-supporting compounds and healthy fats help contribute to a shinier coat, supple skin and comfortable everyday movement.
Three Ways to Serve, Zero Ways to Heat:
Mutelo's texture changes helpfully with temperature. Straight from the fridge, it's firm and easy to scoop into chunks or press into Kongs. At room temperature, it turns soft and doughy, ideal for lick mats and pill-hiding. Warmed by your hands, it softens further for shaping into bite-sized portions.
Important: Never heat, microwave or warm Mutelo directly. Heating can cause the tallow to separate or split. Use cold, at room temperature, or frozen only.
How to Enjoy Mutelo:
Spread on lick mats for calming enrichment sessions. Stuff into Kongs, hooves or treat toys for a long-lasting challenge. Use as a food topper to make any meal irresistible. Mix with bite-size Pets Elite treats and freeze into homemade Pup Pops. Hide medication inside for stress-free pill time.

Freshness Note:
This product contains real beef tallow with no artificial preservatives, so once opened, always reseal the jar tightly between uses. Extended exposure to air will affect freshness, and keeping it sealed also stops insects from getting to it - resealing after every use is the simplest way to keep it fresh and safe.
A Note on Natural Variation:
Texture and colour may vary slightly batch to batch, and Mutelo will firm up or soften depending on room temperature - completely normal for a real, minimally processed product. Quality never varies, character does.
Suitable For:
Dogs of all breeds and life stages | Raw feeders and BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet enthusiasts | Dogs needing skin, coat and joint support | Fussy eaters | Anxious dogs needing calming enrichment | Dogs needing help with medication time
Not Recommended For:
Dogs with known beef or tallow sensitivities - consult your vet before use
Feeding Tip: F
eed as a complementary treat in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Always provide fresh water. Never heat, microwave or warm - use cold, at room temperature, or frozen only.
