What is carob?
The carob that is used in dog treats is actually ground seedpods of the carob tree. Carob trees are generally grown in Mediterranean-type climates. The seed pods are shaken off the trees onto large canvas sheets and then sun dried. Once dried, the seeds are extracted and the seedless pods are roasted and ground into a powder resembling cocoa. It is this powder that is used in dog treats and other food products.
Is carob the same as chocolate?
NO! Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and other animals. When chocolate is ingested, theobromine and caffeine stimulate the central nervous system, and increase urine production and heartrate. This overstimulation ultimately results in fatal cardiac arrhythmias, hyperthermia, or respiratory failure.
Is carob safe for dogs?
YES! Carob is safe for dogs since it does not contain theobromine. While the taste of carob does slightly resemble chocolate, it has a distinct sweet flavor all it's own. Not only is the taste appealing, the nutritional benefits are, too. Carob is very low fat and a good source of protein and calcium. It also contains iron, thiamin, niacin, and several other beneficial nutrients.
