Summer means fresh produce and small snacks of fresh sweetness.
Did you know that many fruits and vegetables can be shared with your dog?
Think about it:
We told ourselves to eat more fruits and vegetables.
We also encourage our children to eat more fruits and vegetables.
So，
Why shouldn’t we let dogs enjoy the gifts of nature too?
Some dogs have dry, itchy skin, and are prone to continuous scratches and sometimes bleeding.Have you ever considered that your dog may have food allergies?Or, it is likely that it is because non-natural food additives are used in the grain.
It's true - people's food is the same as dog's food, and it's very unhealthy to be treated!
My dog has itchy skin and he will scratch and bite his own skin and cause bleeding.But since I added a lot of vegetables to his diet and reduced his packaged dog food, not only did his itchy skin decrease a lot, but his fur has also become brighter!
Without proper nutrition and healthy food, your dog's lifespan may be greatly shortened.In fact, many dogs are currently overweight, and you may also reduce their lifespan due to improper feeding.
While eating a healthy diet, you must also provide a daily exercise plan for Dogs.You can go for a walk, run, go to the park or lake to play frisbee, or you can even play ball with it in the backyard.People do at least 30 to 40 minutes of exercise every day, which is also the length of time your dog should exercise!
Just like humans, obese dogs are at risk for heart, respiratory and kidneys, high blood pressure, various cancers and diabetes.
Dogs also need many of the same vitamins and minerals, just like us humans.Have you seen the similarities?
●Vitamin A and E Can help your dog burn fat and lose weight, fight disease and delay aging process
●Vitamin C Can strengthen the immune system, promote healing, and fight disease
●Vitamin B12 It is very important for the growth and development of cells
●Calcium promotes healthy and strong teeth and bones
●Iron helps healthy blood and oxygen transport
●Potassium promotes heart and cardiovascular health
Whether you want to target some disease of your dog, or look for a healthier diet, or just want to supplement some low-fat, vitamins and minerals, adding fruits and vegetables is a very simple and practical way to do it.
Just like the kids, the sooner you introduce a healthy diet to your dog, the more likely it will be to eat it and enjoy it.
Apart from being not picky about food, your best friend will build a stronger immune system, a constant and stable weight and good energy.
How should we change?
1，Make a good diet plan
Introducing new foods into your dog’s diet may create changes in the digestive system.It is recommended to add only one new fruit or vegetable for a period of time and observe any reactions and changes in your dog.
Remember that every dog is different, so talk with your veterinarian to see which ingredients are right for your dog.
2，What to know "not" feed your dog
Some plants are toxic to dogs, so you must be familiar with every food you want to add to dogs to avoid poisoning.
Here is a simple food list that dogs should avoid.Every list I have read seems to have some conflicts, and I have heard others say they have fed the food on the list and their dogs have not been poisoned, but I would like to remind you again to discuss with the veterinarian to make sure your dog eats correctly and safely.
Foods to be avoided generally include: onions, garlic, leeks, rhubarb, wild mushrooms, grapes, raisins, avocados, citrus fruits, nuts (especially macadamia), seeds and peels.
3，fruit
Fruits give your dog a lot of vitamins, minerals, β-Carotene, phytonutrients and fiber.
It may take a little effort to make your dog love fruits and keep trying until you find some of him ／She likes it.Some dogs like apples, while others like watermelon.Cut the fruit into small pieces or slices to make sure the dogs don't choke.
You can try: apples, apricots, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, melons, cantaloupes, mangoes, peaches, pears, raspberries, strawberries, watermelons.
4，We all love vegetables
I always give it to my dog Benny Meals with some leafy greens and orange food – whether it is pumpkin, sweet potatoreturnIt's the carrot to ensure that he can fight cancer and immune support β-carotene.
Vegetables your dog can eat include asparagus, beets, green peppers, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cabbage, cabbage, celery, beets, cucumbers, eggplant, beans, kale, lettuce, radish, peas, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, radish and zucchini.
5，How to Eat Fruits and Vegetables for Your Dog
We can stir-fry spinach and zucchini with olive oil, spices, but we shouldn't give your dog foods made in the same way.
Never add any seasonings or oil!
Fruits can be eaten raw, but remember to remove the seeds and rotten skin.Cut them into small pieces or slices to prevent the dog from choking.Vegetables can be cut into small pieces or mashed to steam, boil or roast, easy to digest and also make vegetables more acceptable to your dog.
