Cinnamon for dogs may help improve brain function:

In one study, sniffing cinnamon improved brain function — test subjects performed better at memory and attention after a whiff of this spectacular spice. So, using cinnamon for dogs may help if you’re working with your dog on learning new tricks.

This spice wards off diabetes in dogs:

Recent studies have shown that just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day helps to regulate blood sugar and raise insulin resistance; it boosts the body’s ability to use insulin to improve blood glucose levels. This is vital for anyone at risk for diabetes — and that includes senior and overweight dogs. So in addition to feeding a low glycemic index dog food, another good use of cinnamon for dogs is in your pup’s food bowl!

Cinnamon for dogs helps stave off yeast infections:

Other studies reveal that cinnamon is anti-fungal; it works to combat Candida albicans, the fungus that causes yeast infections. These infections often resist medication, but not cinnamon. (Dogs who have allergies are susceptible to yeast infections).

Keep your dog food fresher for longer with cinnamon:

.Cinnamon is also antibacterial and slows down the spoilage of food. When I have to store part of a can of dog food overnight, I’ll sprinkle half a teaspoon of cinnamon over it before refrigerating (on a side note, never refrigerate dog food in the can — to preserve palatability, spoon it into a glass storage container with a plastic top). Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon even prevents the growth of E. Coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices! So for safety’s sake, be sure to add some cinnamon to your raw apple cider.

Cinnamon for dogs helps with arthritis:

An anti-inflammatory, cinnamon for dogs is great for senior pups struggling with arthritis. With my K9 seniors, I’ve had great results mixing a half teaspoon of cinnamon with a tablespoon of honey. This is the recipe used by researchers at Copenhagen University, where arthritis patients were able to walk without pain after just a week of taking cinnamon with honey every day. Yet more studies show that cinnamon can lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, and slow the growth of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

To summarize:
