At the Old Dog Cookie Company, we believe every ingredient in our treats should serve a purpose. That's why unsweetened applesauce is a key component in our Arthritis Relieve and Diabetic Dog Cookies. This simple yet powerful ingredient not only enhances flavor but also provides significant health benefits for dogs, especially those managing arthritis or diabetes.
Unsweetened applesauce is a natural source of essential nutrients, making it a fantastic base for our treats. Here's why:
Many dogs, particularly older ones, don't get enough Vitamin C in their diets. This vital nutrient supports adrenal function and helps the body produce cortisone, which is essential for managing inflammation and maintaining healthy joints. For dogs with arthritis, this can mean improved mobility and reduced discomfort.
2. Apple Pectin: Blood Sugar and Immunity Booster
Apples contain pectin, a soluble fiber that helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a valuable ingredient for diabetic dogs. Pectin also support the immune system, helping dogs fight off illnesses and maintain overall wellness.
3. Low-Calorie, Nutrient -Dense Goodness
Unsweetened applesauce is low in calories and fat, making it an ideal ingredient for weight management. Its fiber content promotes healthy digestion, while its antioxidants help combat free radicals that can contribute to cell damage and aging.
Not all applesauce is created equal. Many store-bought varieties are loaded with added sugars, which can be harmful to dogs, particularly those with diabetes or weight concerns. At Old Dog Cookie Company, we use pure, unsweetened applesauce to ensure our treats are as healthy as they are delicious. By choosing unsweetened applesauce, we provide dogs with all the benefits of apples without the risks associated with added sugars. It's a natural way to sweeten their day while supporting their health.
Managing diabetes in dogs requires careful attention to diet. The pectin in unsweetened applesauce naturally helps regulate blood sugar levels, providing a stable energy source without causing harmful spikes.
As the owner of a diabetic dog, Jetty, we understand the importance of managing blood glucose levels. That's why we carefully selected all our ingredients to ensure our treats contain no added sugars, salt, soy, preservatives, additives, chemicals, dyes, or animal by-products.
At Old Dog Cookie Company, we're committed to creating Arthritis Relief and Diabetic Dog treats that not only taste great but also contribute to your dog's overall well-being. By using unsweetened applesauce as a base, we ensure our cookies are packed with nutrients that support joint health, immune function, and digestion.
So, the next time you treat your furry friend to our cookies, you can feel good knowing you're giving them a snack that's as wholesome as it is tasty. After all, a little unsweetened applesauce a day might just help keep the vet away!
