Here at The 8 Paws Bakery, we have specifically chosen the ingredients that we use to hand craft our treats for their nutritional value & health benefits for your pups. Healthy treats that still taste delicious! Aside from the Chicken Claws, I have personally tasted all of our treats, to ensure that the taste & texture are appealing, to even the pickiest of pups! Like most people, we see our dogs , Rocco & Sophie, not just "dogs" but as important members of our family. With most people being aware of the foods that they eat & wanting to eat as healthy as possible (most of the time), don't our four legged, furry family members deserve the same? We here at The 8 Paws Bakery feel that ALL dogs do!
*Chicken Claws- They are loaded with calcium, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, potassium, glucosamine, keratin & they are rich in collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body & it provides strength to bones, ligaments, tendons & aides in healing skin wounds. They also contain Chondroitin Sulfate, which is a complex carbohydrate, that helps cartilage retain water. Our Dehydrated Chicken Claws are a tasty treat that you pups will LOVE & the health benefits are amazing!

*Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil- About 1/2 of the fatty acids in coconut oil are Lauric acid, which is good at killing bacteria, viruses & fungi (externally) When ingested, it reacts with enzymes to form a monoglyceride called Monolaurin, which is great at killing pathogens.. Both of these substances have been shown to kill bacteria Staphylococcus aureus & the yeast, Candida albicans, which is a common source of yeast infections of any kind.
*Coconut Flour- The type of fat in coconut flour is called a medium chain triglyceride & may provide some health benefits including supporting healthy cholesterol, anti-inflammatory benefits.
