Lincoln Bark: A Love Story to Bark for
After being diagnosed at age two with Addison's disease, our family's poodle, Sophie, stopped eating. Determined to boost her food intake, we researched holistic canine nutrition and created the first recipe for Sweet Little Butterpup- peanut butter based dog treats powered by organic chia seeds, the nutrient packed superfood! The human-grade treats we baked in our own kitchen inspired Sophie to start eating again and inspired us to start a new business: Lincoln Bark!
It's ok to keep some things close to the heart. That's why we use only human-grade ingredients that are locally sourced, many from midwest farms. Our organic chia seed comes from it's native environment in South America.
The Lincoln Bark team has also taken part in and donated to many charities including One Tail at a Time, the Anti-cruelty Society, PAWS and the Fido Magazine "Get Your Licks on Route 66 Cross Country Animal Adoption Tour".

Chia Seed Benefits:
- Promotes Cardiovascular Health: According to the American Heart Associaton, Omega-3 fatty acids can normalize blood pressure and bad cholesterol levels, while helping promote healthy heart and blood vessels.
- Assists Joint Function & Mobility: With six times more calcium than milk, and with greater amounts of high-quality protein than found in soy, chia seeds helps strengthen muscles and bones.
- Improves Digestion & Natural Detoxification: Chia can absorb a whopping 12 times its weight in water- flaxseed only absorbs 6-8 times its weight. Chia's insoluble fiber reduces digestive transit time and removes toxins as it passes through the digestive tract.
- Supports Healthy Weight Loss: Chia's high fiber content and its ability to reduce blood sugar levels after meals inhibits the appetite, thus making it the perfect food for healthy, effective weight loss. Thanks to its neutral flavor and color, chia integrates seamlessly into any healthy recipe.
