Posted on Nov 22, 2016
Your kitchen will soon be filled with the warm aroma of turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and so many other holiday favorites. But before you sit down for your Thanksgiving feast, don’t forget about one very special part of your family - your dog! Why not make them something special for the holidays? Bake your furry friend a Thanksgiving treat made with sorghum that will have them licking their chops.
Sorghum adds many health benefits to your pet’s food and treats. With a low glycemic index, sorghum is rich in antioxidants and minerals. Plus, sorghum is naturally gluten free and has a lower fat content. High in fiber, sorghum also helps improve your pet’s digestibility.
