Winter Seasonal Flavor: Cranberry Ginger Bread!
We wanted to get in a Christmas-y and Wintery spirit. Karyn was busy in the kitchen cooking up something special that we haven't done before. She came up with.... Cranberry GingerBread! Ta-da!
We love the way it smells, our dogs love the way that it tastes and it even looks so pretty, with all those little ruby red pieces.
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 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."
Molasses is a "great source of iron, copper, manganese, potassium and magnesium." And it also give your pup some B6.

Molasses is a "great source of iron, copper, manganese, potassium and magnesium." And it also give your pup some B6.
The definite star of this treat is the Cranberries, which are not only very good for people, they are very good for dogs! "The addition of cranberries to your dog’s diet also has several other
benefits. Cranberries are rich in vitamins including A, B1, B2, C, and
many nutrients. They are full of minerals and antioxidants. Cranberries
are an excellent supplement to your dog’s diet for the promotion of
urinary tract health and they are good for the owner as well. This is
one treat that you can enjoy with your dog, so go grab a handful and
enjoy them together."

Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
Want a flavor of dog treat perfect for the crisp and cool weather of autumn? Try our Spiced Pumpkin cookies!
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.

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.

Keep Your Pooches Safe on Halloween!
Halloween is always a fun night, whether you're trick or treating with your family or handing out candy at home. We always have to remember safety though! We outfit our kids with flashlights and reflectors, warnings to not eat any candy until they get home and to never go up to houses alone that are unfamiliar.But what about the safety of our Halloween dogs? I've looked at a few different websites and compiled a list of tips and reminders to make sure that the spooky festivities are enjoyable for everyone!
The ASPCA also lists all of these reasons!
Your safest choice in a pet Halloween costume would be a loosely tied bandana; however, if you choose to dress up your pet, outfit your dog or cat with a simple approach. Pets can become tangled in elaborate, tight-fitting costumes with strings, ties, belts and sashes. Difficulty in mobility can lead to bodily injury, including strangulation.
Never leave a pet unattended while wearing a costume. Small (or large) parts of a costume can become chewed and ingested and can in turn potentially lead to foreign body ingestion which can be life threatening to your pet.
2. Halloween Decorations and Fire Hazards
If you like to decorate your home in the Halloween spirit, take into consideration what you're putting on display and where the decorations will be placed. Easy-to-reach decorations — or candles — can be eaten or knocked over, potentially leading to choking, foreign body ingestion, electrical shock and even burns and a household fire.
Err on the side of caution while decorating and choose pet-safe products.
3. Noise Affects Pets
Dogs and cats can become skittish and anxiety ridden on Halloween due to the incessant ringing of the doorbell, constant squeals and chatter just outside the door, and small fireworks set off in the street.
In addition, the barrage of strangers dressed in unfamiliar and scary costumes can alarm some pets, increasing their anxiety. Take extra precaution on Halloween: gauge your pet's typical reaction while greeting visitors and decide if putting up a baby gate or leaving your dog or cat in a back room of the house would keep them calmer throughout the evening.
4. Candy and Chocolate Are Toxic
Candy and chocolate are never good for dogs or cats and on Halloween there is an increased chance that Fluffy and Fido may consume treats meant for tricksters.
Halloween isn't an ideal time to let your dog or cat wander outside unattended. While there aren't any documented reports or statistics to indicate that pet abduction increases on Halloween, be mindful that a prankster or a mean-spirited individual could be inspired to mess with your pet.
Take caution and keep pets indoors with you, or escort them outside on a leash if you plan on including your pet in neighborhood festivities. Sudden noises and strange-looking costumes can also spook your pet, causing them to run away, therefore, it’s always a good idea to adorn your pet with a collar and identification tags in case you become separated."
From PetMD
"2. Don't leave pets out in the yard on Halloween.
Surprisingly, vicious pranksters have been known to tease, injure, steal, and even kill pets on Halloween night. Inexcusable? Yes! But preventable nonetheless.
3. Keep pets confined and away from the door.
Not only will your door be constantly opening and closing on Halloween, but strangers will be dressed in unusual costumes and yelling loudly for their candy. This, of course, is scary for our furry friends. Dogs are especially territorial and may become anxious and growl at innocent trick-or-treaters. Putting your dog or cat in a secure room away from the front door will also prevent them from darting outside into the night … a night when no one wants to be searching for a lost loved one.
4. Keep your outdoor cats inside several days before and several days after Halloween.
Black cats are especially at risk from pranks or other cruelty-related incidents. In fact, many shelters do not adopt out black cats during the month of October as a safety precaution.
5. Keep Halloween plants such as pumpkins and corn out of reach.
Although they are relatively nontoxic, such plants can induce gastrointestinal upset should your pets ingest them in large quantities. Intestinal blockage can even occur if large pieces are swallowed. And speaking of pumpkins …
6. Don't keep lit pumpkins around pets.
Should they get too close, they run the risk of burning themselves or knocking it over and causing a fire."
Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Candy and chocolate are never good for dogs or cats and on Halloween there is an increased chance that Fluffy and Fido may consume treats meant for tricksters.
- Chocolate and xylitol, a sweetener found in many candies, can be extremely toxic to pets.
- Lollipops and their sticks can be choking hazards and cause a painful obstruction or foreign body ingestion that may require surgery to remove.
- Candies wrapped in plastic and other types of wrapping can also lead to chocking or cause an obstruction and upset stomach.
- Keep pet-safe treats on hand to satisfy your curious pet.
- Make sure all candies are out of your pet's reach.
- Consider leaving your pet in another part of the house where exposure to hazards is impossible.
