Who doesn't love popcorn, when you’re chilling at home with your pup and catching up on your Netflix? Air popped popcorn is a great snack for Mommas and in moderation—without the extra butter and salt—can be a healthy treat for your pup. Plus, these herbs hold lots of great medicinal properties for your pup. Rosemary is high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin B6 and has also been shown to act as an antioxidant. Oregano is an antimicrobial that helps with digestive problems. Thyme is used to add flavor in common dog food brands, improve digestion, and acts as an anti-bacterial agent. Parsley is often added to dog treats as a breath freshener or used to soothe the stomach.

How long does the popcorn last
Hi Lisa, Your “pupcorn” can last 4-5 days! Allow to cool before storing, then store in an airtight container. Keep in your cupboard or pantry (or any place that is dry and cool). Enjoy!
