🐾 Dinner for our active pups at Alpha B Dog Training! 🐾
Here's what went into tonight’s nutrient-packed bowl and why we chose each ingredient:
Base: Pre-made duck & pumpkin mince (finely ground for easy digestion) — Complete raw meal with veggies and fruits. Duck is rich in B vitamins (B6, B12, niacin), selenium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, and omega-3s for joint and metabolic support. Pumpkin adds fiber plus vitamins A, C & E for digestive and immune health.
• Sirloin steak (leftover, unseasoned) — Loaded with vitamin B12, B3 (niacin), B6, iron (for oxygen transport & muscle recovery), zinc (immunity), selenium (antioxidant), potassium, phosphorus, plus protein for muscle strength.
• King prawns (sautéed, no oil/seasoning) — Excellent protein, plus omega-3s for joint/skin health, vitamin B12, selenium, zinc, iron for immune and metabolic support.
• Blueberries — Antioxidants (anthocyanins), fiber, vitamins C & K, manganese for immune function, cell protection, and gut health.
• Portobello mushroom — Provides antioxidants (ergothioneine), B vitamins (riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid), selenium, potassium, copper. Contains beta-glucans and prebiotic fiber supporting immune function, gut health, energy metabolism, bone strength, and fights inflammation.
• Curly parsley — Rich in vitamin A (eye health), vitamin C (immunity), vitamin K (bone health), folate, iron, and antioxidants; contains chlorophyll for fresh breath and antimicrobial properties.
• Avocado (small amount of flesh) — Contributes healthy monounsaturated fats (for skin/coat), fiber (digestion), antioxidants (vitamins C, E), vitamin K, B5, B6, and potassium (muscles, nerves); use a little only, as too much can cause tummy upset.
