🐶 Why These Ingredients Are Great for Dogs:

  • Pumpkin – Naturally rich in fiber and beta-carotene, pumpkin supports digestive health and helps regulate bowel movements.

  • Yogurt – A great source of protein and calcium, plus live probiotics that promote a healthy gut (make sure it’s unsweetened and plain).

  • Banana – Full of potassium, vitamins B6 and C, and antioxidants that help support your dog’s immune system and cell health.

  • Cinnamon – In small amounts, cinnamon can have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, supporting overall wellness.

  • Maple Syrup – A dog-safe sweetener when used sparingly, it adds a hint of natural sweetness and trace minerals like zinc and manganese.
