Giveaway

Sadie & Co. are excited to share these delightful treats with you (and your dogs). Candid K Nines is generously giving away one bag of each flavour of their delicious ‘snap’ treats. PLUS, each winner will receive these fun, summer-themed treats.

THERE WILL BE THREE LUCKY WINNERS!!! 

EACH WILL RECEIVE A BAG OF SNAPS AND THEMED TREATS!!!

We love sharing stories about company’s that start up as a result of inspiration from their animal companion(s). Candid K Nines was inspired by Harley. Nicole St-Onge, the person behind the brand, tells the story:

“It all started in 2012 when we made our first batch of homemade dog treats for our dog Harley. Before we knew it, we were baking for our friends and families. In 2014 our hobby turned into a business, and Candid K Nines Treats for Dogs became available in several retail stores across Southwestern Ontario.”

Part of the appeal to me, as a customer, is the ingredient list.

Nicole agrees:

Our treats are better because of what we don’t put in them!

These handcrafted treats are wheat and gluten free and naturally preserved. They do not include additional salt, sugar, or anything artificial. The cheese and honey have natural components of salt and sugar – that’s it, that’s all. Au natural.

Henry, Reese, and Jack love the entire range of goodies offered by Candid K Nines. This includes:

And a collection of Decorated Treats. Candid K Nines design the cutest seasonal and event themed treats and offer custom creations also. These decorated delights are perfect for a Host or Hostess gift, or a personalized Doggie Birthday Bag.

I am attending a wedding in October for a dog-loving couple. Each had a dog when they met.  Their wedding is their official joining as one big, happy pack. I am ordering a ‘Bride’ bone & ‘Groom’ bone to attach to the wedding gift bag

Are you a business sponsoring an event? Dog people LOVE having furry family members included.  Order a box of cookies and have YOUR business name iced on them.

Confession: 

There was one other adorable bone cookie ‘I LOVE TREATS.’  He, who shall remain unnamed stole and devoured it before I was able to take a photo.

Thank you Nicole,

PUMPKIN POWER – Delicious & Nutritious

| Leave a Comment

Autumn

See ‘Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Biscuit’ Recipe (below)

There’s no denying fall has arrived. Although we will miss the summer sun and days spent on the Lake, we look forward to enjoying the splendor that comes with this new season. Colourful leaves to run through and roll around and frolic in, and the cooler, fresh autumn air – preferable to some dogs depending on their coats. Fall presents new ‘sniffing scentsations,’ and the gorgeous, bountiful (fall) affair made available to us by our local farmers. Including squash and pumpkins!

Pumpkins are delicious and provide a generous source of nutrition for people and their pets!

The Health benefits of Pumpkin (source)

  • low calorie vegetable. 100 g fruit provides just 26 calories and contains no saturated fats or cholesterol
  • rich in dietary fiber, anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins. The vegetable is one of the food items recommended by dieticians in cholesterol controlling and weight reduction programs.
  • contains many anti-oxidant vitamins such as vitamin-A, vitamin-C and vitamin-E.
  • The fruit is a good source of B-complex group of vitamins like folates, niacin, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), thiamin and pantothenic acid.
  • It is also rich source of minerals like copper, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.
  • Pumpkin seeds indeed are an excellent source of dietary fiber and mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which are good for heart health. In addition, the seeds are concentrated sources of protein, minerals and health-benefiting vitamins. For instance, 100 g of pumpkin seeds provide 559 calories, 30 g of protein, 110% RDA of iron, 4987 mg of niacin (31% RDA), selenium (17% of RDA), zinc (71%) etc., but no cholesterol. Further, the seeds are an excellent source of health promoting amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is converted to GABA in the brain.

The healing properties in pumpkins are often used to settle stomach upsets, constipation, or diarrhea in dogs (and cats). Simply add a tablespoon of pureed pumpkin into their normal meal.

Substituting pumpkin with a portion of your dog’s normal food, also aids weight loss without loss of nutrition. Pumpkin is low calorie and rich in fiber, giving the ‘full’ feeling as well as helping to regulate digestion.

There are also healing properties in the oil found in pumpkins and their seeds. Dogs suffering from joint discomfort or urinary conditions may benefit from having pumpkin added to their diets. To avoid choking, hand-feed pumpkin seeds as a treat one at a time (in moderation), or grind the seeds and add a small amount in with your companion’s food.

Pumpkins are also extremely hydrating as they consist of ninety percent water! Foods that dehydrate your companion contribute to upset stomachs. It is good practice to monitor your pet’s intake of water. Knowing if there is an increase or decrease in consumption may be helpful information for your veterinarian.

We would like to share with you one of our favorite recipes. We simply substitute a portion of the peanut butter with pumpkin. Due to allergies, we also use Brown Rice Flour.

Delicious & Nutritious

Delicious & Nutritious

Pumpkin is available in a can all year long! Be sure to choose an all-natural brand that does not have added sugar or other preservatives.

Enjoy!
