UPDATE...As mentioned before, Rocky suffers from extremely itchy skin. He is on medication (apoquel) to suppress his urge to scratch. He is also a picky little boy when it comes to treats! So we were happy to hear he is enjoying our new Skin and Coat Chookiez. 🐟🫐🥬🐶🐾

“Good morning! It is going good, Rocky is becoming so expectant of his 3 treats a day 🤦🏼‍♀️ haha he loves the fish ones now! Still haven’t noticed any major changes in itching but he sure enjoys them!”

UPDATE...We were so thrilled to get this message from Loki’s owner! 🐟🫐🥬🐶🐾

“Hi Emily, Loki is doing good, he seems to be scratching and licking his feet less, the dogs love their treats!”

Meet Loki! Loki will be taking part in our Skin and Coat Chookiez trials. Loki is a sweet little West Highland Terrier, or Westie for short. Loki is eight years old and has suffered with chronic skin issues since he was a wee pup. Unfortunately for Loki, Westies are prone to major skin issues. In fact, over 60% of Westies have a genetic condition called epidermal dysplasia, or Westie Armadillo Syndrome. This can cause intense itching, redness, swelling, oily discharge, skin/ear infections, and thickening of the skin. Loki’s owners told us that Loki will scratch, and bite himself to the point of bleeding. 🥺 Loki’s owners are very careful about what they feed him. He is currently eating a raw based diet, and gets a fish oil supplement which is awesome! Loki does not get your traditional store bought treats, so we are hoping that our Skin and Coat Chookiez will give Loki some relief, and the chance to enjoy a treat once in awhile. Stay tuned for updates...🐟🫐🥬🐶🐾

Meet Rocky! Rocky is taking part in our Skin and Coat Chookiez trials. Rocky is an adorable five year old, Pomeranian/Chihuahua cross. Unfortunately, Rocky suffers from chronic itchy skin. His owners have tried to pinpoint the exact cause of his skin issues, but haven’t had much luck. They have tried switching diets, as well as prescribed treatments advised by their veterinarian (prednisone and apoquel). Rocky’s desire to scratch himself can be so bad at times that he will cause balding, and sores. 🥺Both Chihuahua’s and Pomeranians are known for having skin issues such as sebaceous adenitis, hypothyroidism and Cushing’s disease. We cannot wait to see if our Skin and Coat Chookiez can help Rocky get some relief. Stay tuned for updates...🐟🫐🥬🐶🐾

Let’s dive deeper into the topic of sprouted grains. We have had some customers ask us why we choose to use sprouted grain in our treats. Below are just a few of the reasons why we love sprouted grains!

* Sprouted grains are whole grain seeds that are germinated, then harvested just before turning into plants.
*The germination process forces seeds to release enzymes which kick starts the digestive process. This can make it much easier for your dogs digestive system as it has to do less work! It also allows your dog to retain more nutrient value.
*Most grains contain phytic acid which attaches itself to minerals like zinc, iron and calcium making them less available to your dog. Sprouted grains help break down phytic acid so your dog can retain more of these essential minerals.
*Sprouted grain can also increase the level of absorbable vitamins like vitamin E and B.
If you ever have any questions about our products please feel free to reach out to us! 🐶🐾🌾

Let’s talk turmeric! Turmeric has been used for centuries as a natural flavour and colour enhancer. But did you know that turmeric has powerful anti inflammatory properties? This is because of the active compound curcumin. Curcumin can help fight inflammation in the body that causes mobility issues, gastrointestinal disorders, and a host of other illnesses. Our Pumpkin Apple Carrot Chookiez feature turmeric, ginger and cinnamon. This combination not only tastes great, but will help your pup feel their best! 🐶🐾🌶

Why sprouted wheat?

Sprouting unlocks nutrients stored inside the wheat germ, and makes it more easily digestible. It's a win-win for your dog!
