Brief Information on Some Ingredients
Peanuts
Peanuts are rich in protein and a good source of energy. They also contain good levels of mono-unsaturated fatty acids (in particular oleic acid). Peanuts are also rich in vitamin E and B vitamins (such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates), as well as a rich source of minerals (such as copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium). In addition, peanuts have antioxidant properties as they are rich in resveratrol, which is anti-aging and may prevent canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie Alzheimer's). When using peanut butter to make dog treats, it is extremely important to get an organic, all-natural, unsweetened and non-salted product. How about peanut allergies? You may wonder. Peanut allergies in dogs are rather rare, but it might happen as dogs can be allergic to any type of protein. If a dog is allergic to peanut, he will develop the same allergic symptoms as in other cases of food allergies. If you look at the recipes for peanut butter dog treats below, you will see other ingredients such as molasses, bananas and cinnamon. These ingredients are all nutritious and go well in taste with peanut butter, and many dogs will go crazy just by smelling the treats being baked in the oven! (My dog Hana usually starts drooling the moment I take the treats out of the oven :)Blackstrap Molasses
Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of iron and calcium, as well as other trace minerals such as magnesium, manganese, copper and potassium.Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant (one teaspoon of cinnamon contains as many antioxidants as half a cup of blueberries), and has antibacterial and antifungal properties as well. Cinnamon can be used for a variety of gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea, diarrhea, and flatulence.Simple Peanut Butter Dog Treat Recipes
