Ingredients information

​

Please find following information on ingredients used in our recipes.  We use the finest ingredients with no artificial additives or preservatives. 

 

Spelt Flour 

We use spelt flour in many of our recipes. Spelt flour is an ancient grain belonging to the wheat family but it is more 'pure' as it has not been overgrown like wheat. It ialso has a tough husk surrounding the spelt grain which means it is naturally protected against pollutants and insects. It also has more flavour and texture and it is high in vitamin B complex. It has both simple and complex carbohydrates and has significantly more protein content than traditional wheat.

There is a very small amount of gluten in spelt flour but the amount is so slight that it is easily digestible and this makes it ideal for dogs who are gluten intolerant.

 

Coconut Flour

A non grain based flour which is gluten free and a good source of lauric acid. It is also an exceptional source of manganese which helps utilise many nutrients including choline and biotin (found in eggs), vitamin C and thiamin. Manganese also supports bone health, nervous system function, thyroid health and helps to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

​

Peanut Butter

Our smooth peanut butter is 100% natural made from pure peanuts and does not contain any added salt, sugar or palm oil. Dogs love the taste of peanut butter and it is good for them too! It is a good source of protein but also contains heart healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin and vitamin E.

 

Natural Yogurt

Yogurt is high in calcium and protein. We use natural yogurt with active bacteria without any artificial sweeteners or added sugars. Yogurts with active bacteria can act as a probiotic and are good for a dog's digestive system.

Honey contains flavonoids, antioxidants that help reduce the risk of disease and is also an anti-flammatory.

 

Rolled Oats

Oats are healthy for dogs as they digestible and high in protein. They are good for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

 

Sweet Potato

Carob

Carob is a tasty and safe alternative to chocolate for dogs. It comes from the carob pod and has a naturally sweet, pleasant flavour. It is rich in vitains A, B, B1, B2, B3, B6 and D, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, managanese and protein. It is also rich in fibre and pectin which helps eliminate toxins from the body. It can improve digestion and lower cholesterol.

Apples

Ginger

Ginger is high in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. It has many health benefits such as anti viral, anti toxic and anti fungal. It has the effect of reducing risk of heart disease. It  can help treat allergies as an anti-histamine. It can help improve blood circulation and lower cholesterol levels. However, if a dog has suffered from anaemia or just undergone surgery it is better to avoid ginger as it stimulates the circulation of the blood and dogs in these situations should maintain a stable blood level.  Although ginger is healthy a  dog should only be given a small quantity as in a cookie treat.
