What Makes These Ingredients Healthy
Cranberries
Cranberries add a natural tart flavor (without artificial additives) with a boost of vitamins and antioxidants. They support a healthy immune system, promote urinary tract health, and provide fiber for better digestion.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a favorite treat for dog parents to share with their pups for good reason. It's rich in fiber, which helps regulate digestion and can ease both constipation and diarrhea. Pumpkin is also loaded with vitamins A, C, and E to support eye health, immunity, and overall wellness. It makes it a nutritious ingredient for dogs of all ages.
Peanut Butter
Of course, all dog owners know peanut butter is a favorite for our pups. It is also a tasty source of healthy fats and plant-based protein. It contains vitamins B and E, which support skin, coat, and energy levels. Just be sure to use natural, xylitol-free peanut butter to keep treats safe and healthy for your pup.
Now that we know a little about what makes these treats delicious and healthy, let's take a look at how easy they are to make!
