Why Are My Biscuits Green?
Spirulina, a type of dried algae, is an ingredient I use in my dog biscuits. It has a very strong green pigment that distributes through the biscuit batter. It is a part of my recipe because it is a superfood that has scientifically proven benefits for humans and animal health. These benefits include:
- assistance to gut health
- weight loss support
- cholesterol management
- assistance to heart health
- serotonin support
- blood pressure management
- anemia treatment
- metabolism support
- diabetes management
- support in fighting allergies
- possible cancer preventative
Why Are My Biscuits Different Shades/Colors?
Based on the treats position in the dehydrator some treats come out more green or more brown than others. The flat bottom of the treats are dried first before they are taken out of the mold so they appear darker. This does NOT mean they are any less delicious. All of my treats are checked to ensure full dryness before they are packaged and sent over to you. This makes sure they will last 6-12 months with you and your pup.
How Much Powder Do I Feed My Dog?
For the powder supplements up 2 tsp/shakes per 10 lbs per day
​
For powder flavor boosters you can do up to 3 tsp/shakes per 10 lbs per day
​
For all powders please start with just a dash a day and slowly increase each 3-5 days while monitoring for a upset tummy. All of these powders have really healthy supplements and herbs that your pups tummies might not be used to.
Why Are My Some of My Fruit Bites Crispy and Some of Them Leathery?
All fruit is fully dehydrated. Depending on the exact thickness, size and ripeness of the fruit pieces when they enter the dehydrator the pieces can come out with different textures. The placement within the dehydrator can effect the speed the pieces are dehydrated and can affect texture as well. But I assure you all of the pieces you receive are fully dry and can keep fresh for 12 months in the freezer, 6 months in the pantry and between 6-12 months in the fridge.
Why are There White and Blue Specks in my Biscuits?
White spots can appear because the coconut flour was not fully mixed in to the batter before it was poured. When it dehydrates, it can reveal imperfections that were not seen when the batter was made. We apologize for this but assure you that your pup wont mind.
Blue spots can appear from the blueberries that are blended and mixed in to the biscuit batter. Sometimes they are not blended finely enough so they can show up as specks in the batter and subsequent biscuits.
Why is there black pepper in the biscuits?
Black pepper is scientifically proven to boost the bioavailability of turmeric. This means that when turmeric is fed with black pepper it can be absorbed and utilized in the animals body more efficiently then if turmeric was fed without pepper. I include turmeric in my biscuit recipe because of its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant effects.
But don't worry, there is only a minute amount of pepper added to these biscuits. Just enough to get the absorption boost for the turmeric but not enough to hinder flavor for the dogs.
