  • Cinnamon: A Safe and Tasty Treat for Dogs?
    Jan confirms cinnamon is safe for dogs in small doses. "Powdered cinnamon is best," she advises, avoiding sticks and essential oils. It offers flavor and potential health benefits, but should not replace medical treatments. Always consult a vet if concerned about overconsumption. Enjoy sharing meals with your dog using fresh, whole foods and spices like cinnamon.
