5 Human Foods That Are Great For Dogs Too!
We all know the fruits, veggies, and superfoods that are beneficial to our health- but what about your dog? Well we got you covered! Here are some foods that your pet will love and are good for them too!
Cranberries
One of your favorite holiday staples are also great for your dog too! Cranberries are a great source of antioxidants as well as quercetin (a plant pigment that can boost thier immune systems). Cranberries are also great for their urinary tract health too!
While your dog may not love the tart taste of cranberries themselves, dried or cooked cranberries are always a healthy alternative! Check out our Toilet Water treats- which have cranberries, organic cheddar, applesauce, barley and flax seeds! For a fun way to get your dog some cranberries! 
Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are great in our human diets- they are packed with fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins! Did you know they have these and even more health benefits to dogs?
Flax seeds are a great source of fiber- which is vital in a healthy dogs diet. Unfortunately many popular dog food brands use more fillers than fiber, which can lead to unhealthy weight in dogs. However by supplementing with healthy treats- you can help add some much needed fiber to your pets diet!
Flax seeds also contain lignans- which help keep their hearts healthy as well as fight off cancer!
This is why we try to use this ingredient in our treats! If you are wanting to add some flaxseed (with a little extra flavor) have your pup try our Dirty Sock, Trash Can or Toilet Water flavors!
Bananas
Bananas are often a household staple- but are they safe for dogs? The answer is a big YES!
Bananas are great for a dog’s health! They help maintain a healthy blood pressure, they help with digestive health, and increase bone strength as well. They contain vitamins B and C which help boost immunity and brain function!
The only downside is portion control. Bananas also contain a lot of sugar themselves. However our treats give all the added benefits of bananas without all the extra sugar! If your dog loves bananas they should try our Trash Can or our Dirty Sock varities!
