Let’s Get Spiced
The story behind one of our 4 ingredients
Why do we use Cinnamon in our treats?
Cinnamon is not just a delicious spice that humans enjoy, it also has numerous benefits for dogs. Labeled as a non-toxic spice by the ASPCA, When used in the proper proportion- everything in moderation! - it is packed with benefits.
BUPPY PETS only uses ceylon cinnamon, which is more beneficial and healthier for dogs compared to cassia, or darker cinnamon. Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate joint pain and stiffness in dogs, making it a great addition to treats for senior dogs or dogs with arthritis. Additionally, cinnamon can improve circulation and help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be especially beneficial for dogs with diabetes.
Cinnamon is also a natural way to freshen your pup’s breath. This spice has antibacterial properties that can help fight bad breath and keep your dog's mouth healthy. Incorporating cinnamon into your dog's treat routine can not only benefit their health, but also make snuggling up with them more enjoyable.
It’s also the main way we naturally preserve each of our sweet recipes, giving our treats a 1+ year shelf life without anything artificial.
You can find this special spice in three of our yummy recipes- PUMPKIN NUTTERS, PB & J, and our newest, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. We love incorporating cinnamon as a key ingredient, so you can treat your furry friend while also promoting their health and wellbeing.
