Hemp Dog Treats

Description

Love CBD Hemp Dog Treats

Our natural dog treats are made with simple, plant-based ingredients, including nutrient-rich hemp protein made from UK-sourced hemp seeds. They contain no unnecessary fillers or artificial ingredients.

Unlike mass-produced dog treats, ours are mixed and baked by hand in small batches. They are double baked to give them a satisfying crunch.

Hemp protein is the main ingredient and provides a naturally rich source of protein, essential amino acids, minerals and healthy fats.

Below, we take a closer look at the nutritional content of hemp and why these nutrients are an important part of a dog’s diet.

A Complete Source of Protein

Hemp is a complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids:

Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine.

Essential amino acids must be obtained through a dog’s diet because their body cannot produce sufficient amounts itself. They are used to make proteins and contribute to normal functions throughout the body, including the maintenance of muscle.

Vitamins and minerals naturally present in hemp

Hemp seeds contain a range of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. These include:

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and an essential nutrient in a dog’s diet. It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin involved in normal protein and energy metabolism.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
Thiamine is an essential vitamin involved in normal energy metabolism and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Iron
Iron is an essential mineral and forms part of haemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood.

Minerals naturally present in hemp

Hemp seeds naturally contain a range of minerals, including magnesium, zinc, potassium and calcium. These are essential nutrients that perform important functions within a dog’s body.

Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in numerous normal bodily processes, including energy metabolism and normal muscle and nerve function.

Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous normal bodily processes, including the maintenance of healthy skin and normal immune function.

Potassium
Potassium is an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function and maintaining normal fluid balance.

Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral best known for its role in maintaining normal bones and teeth. It is also involved in normal muscle and nerve function.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids

Hemp seeds are naturally rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6.

These fatty acids are an important part of a dog’s diet and perform a range of functions within the body. Hemp is particularly interesting because it naturally contains both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of approximately 3:1.

Omega-3
Omega-3 fatty acids form part of a balanced diet and are involved in normal functions throughout the body.

Omega-6
Omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that dogs need to obtain through their diet. They have important roles in normal growth and the maintenance of healthy skin and coat.

Fibre

Hemp is also a natural source of dietary fibre.

Fibre forms an important part of a dog’s diet and supports normal digestive function. It can also help provide a feeling of fullness after eating.

Our natural dog treats also contain coconut flour, which is a flavoursome and nutrient-dense flour. Like hemp, coconut is also high in fibre and protein, which will help keep your dog regular, fit and strong. Coconut also contains vitamins B6 and C, as well as potassium and calcium, which is another essential component in any joint supplement for dogs.

Coconut flour is also low in carbohydrates, which can help your dog to maintain a healthy weight. It is also gluten-free, which can be beneficial for some dogs.

Feeding as a Treat

Treats should generally make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Feed alongside a complete and balanced diet and always ensure fresh drinking water is available.

Do Hemp Dog Treats Contain CBD?

We do not add CBD or any other cannabinoids to our Hemp Dog Treats. Low levels of naturally occurring cannabinoids may be present from the hemp protein used to make them. No THC was detected in testing.
