The base of this treat is whole wheat flour, organic fat free milk and a certified human organic 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 flour 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!
Ginger is one of the ingredients that makes this treat spicy and delicious! As long as it is in small quantities, ginger is very good for dogs. It is anti viral, anti toxic and anti fungal. WOW! "Ginger is known to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve stomach ache. In addition, ginger is high in antioxidants, it has the effect of reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Ginger can help treat allergies as an antihistamine." Ginger is also known to help the symptoms of motion sickness and lower cholesterol. Although, "if dogs suffered from anemia or just take surgery, you’d better avoid to use ginger because ginger would stimulate circulation of the blood but these dogs should maintain a stable blood level."
Another great spice for dogs in small quantities? Cinnamon! Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties, and can stop bacteria growth, meaning that it's great for dogs who have allergies or are prone to yeast infections (hey... we have one of those dogs! ahem... Muggs!) Cinnamon can also help regulate blood sugar levels for dogs who are at risk for diabetes. Who knew?
Nothing really says fall spirit quite like a pumpkin. Pumpkin has a lot of fiber, beta carotene and vitamin A and in small quantities is good for both diarrhea and constipation. Pumpkin is often found in higher quality dog foods for its benefits to urinary health and weight loss.
We really love this treat, the smell of it baking really gets us in an Autumn-y mood. Help your dogs embrace the fall season with a freshly baked bag of Ginger Spiced Pumpkin cookies. Order a bag today at Jakksinabox@gmail.com or visit our Facebook shop to see what other flavors we’re offering.
