MoreCarob: Halloween Dog Chocolate
Halloween is just around the corner! With all of the festivities, remember what to do When Your Pet Eats Halloween Candy. As you probably remember, chocolate may be delicious for the kids, but toxic for the dog! You may be thinking, "But doesn't Wag N' Wash carry chocolate bakery items?" We do, in a way, thanks to an absolutely pawsome ingredient called carob! Thanks to carob, your pup can enjoy chocolate-y goodness safely all year, and especially when you want to share some Halloween treats!
What is Carob?
Like cocoa, carob is a bean too! The trees are native to the Mediterranean region, and are ground into a powder that is then used for baking. Also known by the name "sugar pod," its naturally lightly-sweet flavor and consistency make it an absolutely perfect substitute for chocolate in baking. It's also listed on the ASPCA's non-toxic list for dogs, cats, and horses!
A Chocolate Look-Alike
While this chocolate look-alike may tempt the owner as much as their pooch, carob is absolutely safe for dogs! Yipee! It contains no phenylethylamine, fromamide, or caffeine, and only a negligible amount of theobromine. No offense chocolate, but those ingredients don't even sound tasty! While chocolate may be delicious for us, it's those ingredients that make the difference between chocolate as a toxic threat and carob as a delicious treat! Plus, unlike chocolate, carob is naturally sweet! So, your pup can enjoy some creamy goodness without the added sugar.
It's Healthy Too!
Non-toxic? Check. Delicious? Absolutely! Nutritious? You bet! Carob boasts a whole bunch of vitamins (A, B, B1, B2, B3, B6, and D), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, fiber, and pectin! This magical mixture helps lower cholesterol, improve digestion, and can even help out Fido if he finds himself on Halloween with a bit of the runs.
A Treat to Share
Carob is so delicious, nutritious, and allergy-friendly that you may be tempted to nibble off of your pup's biscuit next time you treat him to the bakery. Go ahead! Carob is obviously delicious, nutritious, and all of the ingredients used at your locally owned Wag N' Wash are human-grade. Remember though, they are designed with the dog's palette in mind, so the taste may seem a little off to you! Who knows, the next food craze after Nutella toast may be Carob toast! Instead of waiting for that day, be sure to treat your furry companions to Trick or Treating at your locally owned and operated Wag N' Wash for some delicious, festive, and safe Carob delights this Halloween!
