Here at Three Dog Bakery we love all things chocolate. We think in a perfect world our dogs would too. That is why we use carob, a healthy chocolate substitute suitable for dogs, in half of our products.
Carob is an eastern Mediterranean evergreen tree of the pea family. Carob has increased in overall popularity because it is a low-fat, low-calorie, and no-caffeine alternative to chocolate. While chocolate is harmful for dogs, carob is not. Unlike chocolate, carob does not contain theobromine or caffeine, which are the key ingredients not suitable for dogs. Theobromine is a stimulant found in chocolate which acts as an energy booster. Dogs metabolize theobromine much more slowly than humans and therefore chocolate can be fatal. However, carob is a healthy alternative that looks and tastes just like chocolate. So, spoil them with carob, your dogs will love you for it!
