Life of Riley's Mini Gingerbread Men are small, crunchy biscuits shaped like gingerbread men — made with peanut butter and ginger on a grain-free gram flour base. The ginger isn't just a flavour choice: it's a genuinely functional ingredient with well-documented properties for supporting digestion and helping ease nausea, making these particularly good for dogs that travel, dogs with sensitive stomachs, or nervous dogs on difficult days.

Handmade by Life of Riley Bakery Ltd in the UK. 100% natural, grain-free, and vegan. No artificial additives or preservatives.

  • Ginger for digestion and motion sickness: Ginger has a long-established track record in both human and veterinary use for reducing nausea and supporting digestive comfort. For dogs that experience car sickness, anxiety-related digestive upset, or general sensitivity, a ginger-containing treat given before travel or stressful situations is a practical, natural option.
  • Peanut butter palatability: The peanut butter provides strong flavour appeal — a reliable motivator for dogs that can be reluctant to accept unfamiliar treatments or travel anxiety remedies. The ginger is delivered in a format dogs actively want to eat.
  • Grain-free gram flour base: Made from chickpea flour rather than wheat — grain-free, gluten-free, and well tolerated by dogs with grain sensitivities. The coconut adds texture and a mild natural fat content.
  • Everyday snack or functional treat: Works as a straightforward tasty biscuit for everyday use, or as a targeted treat given before car journeys, vet visits, fireworks, or other anxiety-inducing situations where digestive support is helpful.
  • Grain-free and vegan: No meat, no dairy, no grains — suitable for dogs on hypoallergenic or grain-free diets, and for owners choosing plant-based options.

Feeding guidance

Suitable for dogs of all breeds from 12 weeks. Feed as a complementary treat as part of a balanced diet. For travel use, offer one or two treats 20–30 minutes before a journey. Always ensure fresh water is available.

Note: Contains peanut butter — not suitable for dogs with a known peanut or nut allergy. Ginger is safe for dogs in treat quantities but feed in moderation; excessive ginger intake can cause mild digestive irritation in some individuals.

Common questions

Does ginger actually help with motion sickness in dogs?
Yes — ginger has well-established anti-nausea properties in dogs, and several studies have shown it can reduce vomiting associated with motion sickness. It works by acting on the digestive tract directly rather than the central nervous system, which makes it a gentler option than some medications. It won't work for every dog or in every situation, but for mild to moderate travel sickness it's a practical, natural first line of support. For severe motion sickness, speak to your vet about additional options.
How many should I give before a car journey?
One or two treats given 20–30 minutes before travel is a reasonable starting point for most dogs. As these are handmade treats rather than a standardised supplement, ginger content will vary slightly between batches — feed as part of a broader approach to travel comfort (good ventilation, regular stops, a familiar blanket) rather than as a standalone solution. If your dog has severe travel anxiety, speak to your vet.
Can these be given every day?
Yes — in appropriate quantities as part of a balanced diet. They're not a therapeutic supplement but a natural treat with functional benefits. Like all treats, feed in moderation alongside a complete diet and adjust main meals accordingly if you're feeding treats regularly. The biscuit format means they're easy to portion — one or two pieces at a time rather than a handful.
Are these suitable for dogs with grain or chicken sensitivities?
Yes — the recipe is grain-free (gram flour is a legume flour, not a grain), contains no chicken, and no dairy. It uses only four ingredients: gram flour, coconut, peanut butter, and ginger. This makes it one of the simpler recipes in the range — a practical option for dogs with multiple sensitivities or on elimination diets, as long as peanut butter is tolerated.
