Superfoods in Your Kitchen: Healthy Dog Treats
1.Nutrient-dense foods carry extra nutritional (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.) value which is expected to have an immediate positive impact on your dog’s health and overall nutrition.
2. Act as a natural supplement to help give your dog energy, strengthen their immune system, help them sleep, regulate their blood oxygen levels, support their cognitive health, stronger bones, and joints, relieve inflammation, heal their digestive system, and much more.
HERE, ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF SUCH FOODS ARE:
A. OATMEAL 🥣
Excellent replacement for kibble with high fiber content which helps in regulating bowel movement.
B. CHICKPEAS 🧆
Energy-boosting carbohydrates, essential amino acids, and the numerous additional nutrients it provides such as Vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, and folate.
C. SWEET POTATO 🍠
Important antioxidants such as beta-carotene are loaded along with different vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamins B5, Vitamin B6, manganese, and copper.
D. PUMPKIN p🎃
Helps improve your pet's eye health, skin, and coat. Generally given to pets with an upset stomach.
E. CARROTS 🥕
Boiled carrot helps in weight management due to its high satiety index, low calories along with a bunch of fibers and vitamins.
*Additional benefits: frozen carrots when given during the puppyhood/ teething phase alleviate their nibbling behavior and soothe the gum discomfort. Good for even older pets for dental health.
E. DAHI 🍚
Avoids the problem of lactose intolerance due to milk feeding. Contains protein and calcium in a good amount and also improves the gut microflora hence improving digestion. Acts as a cooling agent in summers, reducing the risks of heat stress.
F. EGGS 🥚🥚
Probably the best source of protein with equally good amounts of essential fatty acids (cholesterol) and loads of vitamin -minerals. However, feeding raw eggs might expose them to Salmonella infection.
G. CHICKEN 🐓🐔
A good source of lean meat means high protein without much of a calorie count. Care should be taken to feed cooked chicken, minus salt, and avoid bones.
H. COCONUT 🥥
Again a good source of essential fatty acids. Excellent supplement for dry/flaky skin or poor fur coat. Also good for joint mobility in middle to old-aged dogs as contains phenolic components which have anti-oxidant properties.
