Beef and Barley goodness

So today I want to write about our newest cookie addition, Beef and Barley. This is a cookie I have been thinking about for a long time. Recently I was connected with a naturopath in Colorado Springs, through a lot of my own research with a holistic veterinarian, and through her guidance, a new cookie has been made that is a whole health cookie.

To start with I wanted a cookie that would give essential nutrients and minerals to dogs. I have cookies that are geared toward specific ailments, i.e. healthy joints, but I wanted one that was more of a multi vitamin in a sense. A beneficial cookie for all dogs, not just ones with health concerns. I am very particular about what I feed myself as well as my dogs. I don't believe in giving them anything but the best. Cookies are intended to be a treat and should be fun, but they can be beneficial and good for your dog at the same time. Why feed your dog processed junk when for the same price you can feed them something fresh made from the highest quality ingredients.

So before I ramble on about dog health, enter Beef and Barley. It is rare that you find beef in anything dog related. I don't understand why since there are proteins and 80 essential nutrients and minerals, like iron, that are in beef. We only buy he highest quality product and all animal products must come from fairly treated animals that have a good quality of life, it is essential they never be treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. The beef we buy is from Whole Foods, it is organic, free range, grass fed beef.

The herbs we use are barley grass, wheat grass and turmeric. There are so many health benefits that accompany these herbs! Let's start with turmeric, which is highly recommended as a daily nutrient for dogs for multiple reasons.

Turmeric is used as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory, it is also antimicrobial and an anti-carcinogen. Turmeric is beneficial for liver health, gastrointestinal problems, (such as excessive flatulence or irritable bowel syndrome), and for overall cardiovascular health. Turmeric has also been used as an anti-cancer herb. It has no side effects and dogs love the taste of it. Hello!!! Talk about an awesome herb!!! We should all take it everyday! If you aren't sold on this cookie yet just wait until I tell you about the different grasses we use.

Barley grass is the barley plant in its early stages and has vegetable like nutrients. The list of nutrients and benefits is extremely long so I will sum it up and give you a link to read more about it. Barley grass contains all the essential nutrients the body needs at any age, this is true for your dog as well. It is beneficial as a pain reliever from arthritis, helps combat blood clots and cancer, relieves inflammation, relieves stomach and intestinal disorders, and helps promote healthy skin and DNA repair. So far we have two SUPER HERBS in this cookie and there is still one more! :)

Wheat grass is something I used to take regularly when I worked at Jamba juice. It is so good for you. I use a shampoo for my dogs that is made with wheatgrass and it is the best for their skin and hair. Wheatgrass is great for dogs because it provides them with essential nutrients. It also helps digest food due to its natural enzymes, it detoxifies the liver and the intestines, and it helps with nutrient absorption. It also helps rebuild red blood cells, has high amino acid content, and it fights and protects against illness.

So welcome the SUPER COOKIE!!! I hope by this time you are convinced to give your dog something better than a processed treat. If they tasted better to people I would recommend them for our intake. I do not guarantee any specific healing or results, but I can guarantee a peace of mind that you are treating your dog with a wholesome cookie. I recommend 1 cookie/day for dogs less than 20 lbs, 1-2 cookies/day for dogs 20-50 lbs, and 1-3 cookies/day for dogs over 50 lbs.
ORDER TODAY to start changing the way you feed your dog :)
