K9 Granola Pumpkin Crunchers

Pumpkin is the #1 ingredient in these tasty wheat, corn and soy free treats!

Pumpkin is very high in carotenoids. They are what give pumpkins their bright orange color. Carotenoids have been shown to neutralize free radicals-molecules that can attack cell membranes and leave the cells vulnerable to damage. Pumpkins are also high in lutein and zeaxanthin, which help minimize free radicals in the lens of the eye. As a result they may help prevent the formation of cataracts and reduce the risk of macular degeneration which usually results in blindness.

Pumpkins also contain several beneficial nutrients such as zinc, iron and fiber. Zinc deficiency may be related to osteoporosis of the hip and spine in older dogs. Iron stimulates red blood cell growth. Fiber is important for bowel health.

APPLE AND CRANBERRY: Apples are a rich source of flavonoid and polyphenols which are both powerful antioxidants. Studies show that eating 100g of apple can give an antioxidant effect equal to approximately 500mg of Vitamin C.

Cranberries contain a number of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, probiotics, polyphenols, flavonoids and fiber. They are highly regarded for urinary tract health.

BLUEBERRY: Blueberries are full of anthocyanin, another powerful antioxidant. Blueberry extract, high in compounds called anthocyanosides, has been found in clinical studies to slow down vision loss, heart disease and even cancer. They have also been shown to improve memory loss.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA: Peanuts are a great source of monounsaturated fats emphasized in a heart-healthy diet. They contain high concentrations of antioxidant polyphenols, primarily a compound called p-coumaric acid.

Bananas contain potassium and as a result offer benefits to the kidneys and the bones. A normal intake of potassium suppresses calcium excretion in the urine and minimizes the risk of kidney stones.

SWEET POTATO: Sweet Potatoes are rich in Vitamin A (betacarotene) and Vitamin C. Both Vitamins A and C are powerful antioxidants that work in the body to remove free radicals. Sweet potato is shown to be good for stomach ulcers and inflamed conditions of the colon. It is beneficial for low blood pressure as well.
