Feeding 100% raw can be difficult due to the expenses and the time it requires. Not everybody has the extra time and money, and THATS OKAY.
If you feed dry kibble, there are additions you can make that’ll still benefit your dogs health 🫐🍓🥦🥚
1- Hydration!!! Because of how kibble is cooked, it removes almost all of the hydration. You can add anything from water, coconut water, bone or chicken broth, or raw goat milk.
2- fresh foods. Here are a couple main supplement types, their benefits, and foods that fit in the category.
Probiotics- support the immune and digestive system and reduce gastrointestinal problems
- foods: yogurt, raw goat milk apple cider vinegar, coconut water, etc
Prebiotics- improve digestion, nutrient absorption, increase immune function and maintain healthy gut health
- foods: fruits (apples, berries), veggies (broccoli, spinach), root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes).
Antioxidants- support healthy brain function, reduce inflammation, support healthy skin and coat
- foods: fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), fatty fish (salmon, sardines), leafy greens (spinach, collard greens)
Omega 3- improve skin and coat health, support joint health and reduce inflammation
- foods: green lipped mussels and oily fish (sardines, salmon, mackerel)
Glucosamine- support mobility and joint health, reduce inflammation
- foods: eggshell membranes organ meats (liver, kidney), bone or chicken broth
I would love to eventually feed raw, but until then, here is a glimpse of one some of Trouts meals look like 🤩
