I was trying to search the treats that are safe for chins and I would like to incorporate some new things (VERY small doses) and I found local raw bee pollen at a organic grocery store. Could I add some be pollen to her treats that I make with her chinny cookies? Thanks in advance :)
 
I feed all my chins and rabbits bee pollen. It is one of the best natural foods in the world. I give my animals 1/8 teaspoon every week.

This is a vital health supplement for the help with all functions. Antioxidant and a high reactive free radical that will help stop cell damage. Antioxidants that inhibits some cancers, strengthens capillaries, helps with healing of cuts, sores, after surgeries. Helps with autoimmune, plus carbohydrates for energy and maintains proper digestion.



Bee Pollen

Bee Pollen is abundant with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and more. It contains all the essential components of life, and is rich in rare and precious compounds which work in a deep and lasting fashion. Keep in mind that pollen composition may vary quite a bit in different localities in this country, as well as in the world. Some of the chief vitamins found in bee pollen are:

Main Ingredients: Protein 21.2 %, Carbohydrates 48.5 %, Fatty acids 9.9 %, Ash 3.5 %, Fiber 14.2 %

Thiamine (vitamin B1) - Indicated for the treatment of the toxic effects of alcohol and certain medicine, the curing the edemas, the treatment of shingles, and heart conditions myocarditis and tachycardia, and in regimen for diabetes.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) - In opthomology, necessary to cure conjunctivitis, disorders of retinal adaptation, some skin diseases and alleviate migraines.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) - Required for the formation of hemoglobin and used to combat nervousness, fatigue, muscular weakness, brain tumors, anemia, Parkinson's disease, arteriosclerosis of the brain, and radiation sickness.
Nicotinic Acid (Nicotinamide) - Acts on the formation of blood, is used in the treatment of toxic overload, diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal problems, asthma, neuralgia, fights migraine and tinnitus, and lower cholesterol.
Pantothenic Acid (Part of B-complex) - Effectively speeds the cure of wounds, gangrene, various ulcers, herpes, bedsores, inflammatory infections of the mouth, colds, bronchitis, infectious hepatitis and minor skin problems.
Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) - Stimulating antitoxic effects. Beneficial against colds, respiratory distress, and is useful in metabolizing calcium.
Retinol (vitamin A) - Effective against infections, dry eyes, and night blindness.
Tocopherol (vitamin E) - Assists oxygenation of the cellular level and fights sterility. Has anticoagulant properties and improves blood circulation.



Benefits of Bee Pollen

Vitamins and minerals are not all that bee pollen offers. It is also rich in proteins, free amino acids, hormones and trace elements. No other food on earth offers such a broad spectrum of nutrition so naturally. All over the world honeybee pollen is recognized not only as an ideal food source, but as a food source with wide-acting medicinal properties.
 
If I can find bee pollen in my area, can I dip say a twig in it and offer it that way?
How much is too much to provide for chins on bee pollen?
Sorry, but this is something new to me.
 
Oh, bee pollen is dry and actually like little grains....like the size of quinoa or the head of a pin. You can just give them a pinch in their pellets and they will find them ;)
 
i just got a fresh bag of bee pollen and the instructions on the bag actually say for humans to only start with a few grains and then gradually build up, so i would mix a couple grains with either their food or another supplement.
personally i would not start with a stick dipped in it. anything other than pellets, hay, & water should be used in moderation and sparingly. their sensitive digestive tract may not agree with bee pollen and you dont want to give too much.
 
Wow!!! Thanks to all who have replied :) This is wonderful because I went to a Natural/organic grocery store in my area and they had all sorts of cool stuff and I saw they had bee pollen and picked some up! Yippee time to make chinny treats!!!

Just wondering would this be at a normal grocery store?? Also is it like normal human food where it matters what one you get because some are better than others? Is there a brand you typically buy?

Most “normal” grocery stores will not have bee pollen. You can usually find it at places like Whole Foods or other specialty stores. It’s easier to buy some things online, and this is probably one of those things.
