The Massachusetts Apple Pie Stick!
Karyn was on a pie kick when this treat was invented, and she had recently learned about melting cheddar cheese on the crust of an apple pie. A great idea for humans, and a delicious idea for a dog treat.
The base of this treat is whole wheat flour, organic fat free milk and an organic range free egg. The milk and egg quality speak for themselves. Eggs are great sources of protein, riboflavin and selenium. There are benefits to the whole wheat flour too! Whole wheat uses the whole grain and contains bran and wheat germ which is a great source of minerals, B vitamins, phytochemicals to enhance the immune system. The whole grains can also promote healthier cardiovascular systems and reduced risks of cancer and diabetes.
Our pups don't have a problem with gluten, but if yours does, we would love to make this flavor for you using something gluten free!
And the ingredients that make this treat special? Cheddar Cheese and Applesauce!
We know that there is some debate out there of whether or not cheddar cheese is a good thing to give your pet because it is dairy. We researched and we found out that the health benefits for humans is the same for dogs! The calories and fats in cheese are well balanced and low, and it is highly digestible. Cheese also is a great source of calcium which helps dogs form a strong bone structure!
We use only natural applesauce with no additives. Apples are a great source of vitamins A, and C and fiber. If your dogs like apples, you can even give them apple slices, but beware the apple seeds because they contain cyanide which collects in the body and can cause major problems down the line.
Whoo-hoo!
We love this treat, especially the way it smells while it’s baking. I can only imagine how great it smells when a fresh baked bag is open. Do you have one in your pantry? Order a bag today! Jakksinabox@gmail.com or visit our Facebook shop to see what other flavors we’re offering.
