​Our final product is to make dog treats called Sniblets! These dog treats are made with anti-inflammatory foods such as kale, cinnamon, apple, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, and glucosamine and chondrotin. These treats are homemade and are tasty to both dogs and people (yes, I said people). Because there is no definite way to know whether or not these treats will help dogs with arthritis unless we had several more weeks to test them, we made sure that they were tasty and enjoyable. We did try to time our dogs getting up the stairs, going on longer walks, and running for longer time periods.

If I could change one thing to increase our impact, I would create something other than food that help dogs with arthritis. I would also want to have more time to create a prototype. Sniblets were very fun to make, but I feel that something even more specific than dog treats would be a better fit for dogs with arthritis. So far, the feedback that we have received has mostly been about the same thing. At first, we wanted to make dog treats with essential oils in them. Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback, we decided to dive deeper into research. This idea was no longer useful once we realized that essential oils are not good for dogs to consume (especially in their food). After this, we scrambled to find feedback for our next idea: dog treats with anti-inflammatory foods. Luckily we spent time researching what foods were anti-inflammatory and safe for dogs to eat before we pitched our idea to several people. As a result of this, the majority of the feedback we got was based upon how we would know if the treats would make a difference in the dog’s mobility. This is only something we could test if we had months to conduct their effectiveness.
