Is dog food the same as human food? You may be thinking that dog food is any food, but you would be wrong. There are many dog foods on the market, and some of them are not good for your dog at all. In this blog post, we will discuss what to feed your pup and how to choose healthy dog food for them!
1. Salmon
Salmon is the perfect meal for any dog, but make sure that it is raw or cooked salmon. It is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your dog’s heart health and brain development. I recommend giving your dog around a half-pound of salmon per day. Since most people don’t have access to raw salmon, it is best to cook the fish before serving it.
2. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, which is great for your dogs’ immune system and eyesight! These can be steamed until they reach a soft consistency, then cooled down and served to your dog. One medium-sized sweet potato would make a good meal for any pup.
3. Blueberries
Blueberries are a safe fruit to feed your dog as long as they are not over-indulged in them. They contain antioxidants that can help with brain development, bone strength, and heart health! One handful of blueberries should be enough for any dog to feel the effects of their antioxidants.
4. Green beans
Green beans are a great source of vitamin K, C, and A! Mixed with sweet potatoes. Green beans make up a perfect meal for any pup. They also help to prevent urinary stones in the bladder, which is common in most breeds of dogs. Simply steam or boil the green beans until they are soft enough for your dog to eat.
5. Watermelon
Watermelon is not just for summertime when humans are in the sun craving watermelon. Dogs can benefit from this refreshing fruit too! Watermelons contain many essential vitamins and minerals which strengthen muscle function and bone formation in your dog. Keep an eye on how much watermelon you give your pup as it is a high-calorie fruit.
6. Eggs
Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and dogs can benefit from them as much as humans can! Feeding your pup eggs will help with brain, heart, and muscle development as well as boost their immune system. They also contain biotin, which helps to strengthen your dogs’ coat and reduce shedding. Ensure that the yolk is cooked thoroughly before feeding it to your puppy, as raw egg whites contain a protein that can be fatal to dogs.
7. Carrots/Carrot Sticks
Carrots are among the best vegetables you can feed your dog because they contain high amounts of fiber, Myoinositol, and potassium! The fiber helps keep your dog’s digestive system healthy, and the Myoinositol enhances brain development in your dog. Slice or grate carrots into small pieces, then steam them, so they become soft and chewy enough for your pup to eat. Finally, feed your dog with the best food in the market to keep it healthy and happy!
