❔Did you know that you can DIY your own “superfood” 🥦🍓🥬green powder for your DOG 🐶? Most 8oz “superfood” green powder cost anywhere from 💰$30-$60 per container. When you can make the same 8oz “superfood” green powder roughly $5-$10 depending on the ingredients you pick! ✨ ALL you need is just greens of your choice (spinach, kale, swiss chard, dandelion greens, cilantro, parsley, broccoli etc.), or you can even add some strawberries or blueberries to the mix. ❗️Tip: completely dry ingredients before processing and dehydrating to avoid moisture that will cause mold. ✨preheat your over to its lowest setting 150-200*F and or your dehydrator to 125*F. Wash & dry ingredient thoroughly, and remove any stems, and chop. Lay flat on greased baking sheet, parchment paper or baking mat. Check periodically, bake for 4-8 hrs. You want them crispy and to break, not rubbery! If you burn them they will be bitter. After, pop them into your food processor, coffee grinder etc. until it’s a powder consistency. ❗️Store in a sealed jar in a cool dark place, and if you don’t have a silicon sachet to catch moisture you can always use uncooked rice in a cheese cloth sachet ✨use a 1/2 teaspoon of powder for every 10 lbs of body weight with your dog. ✨Sprinkle on their food daily or add it to broth, some Greek yogurt or in homemade treats! #lbk9solutions #vmk9 #cooking #doggo #jacksonville #dogtraining #localbusiness #dognutrition #dogs #dogtrainer #nutrition #DogWellness #wellness #foodie #foodlover #dogfood #dietitian #nutrionist #k9 #superfood

🫚Known as the “spice of life”, Turmeric! In recent years, there has been a plenty of scientific research supporting its healthy inflammatory response benefits, which in turn has made it a popular ingredient for DOGS 🐶 and humans. ✅ One of the moat popular ways for your dog to consume this paste is adding it to KEFIR or PLAIN GREEK YOGURT, or with BONE BROTH over their food. ✅ Start with 1/4 tsp, 2x daily and for larger dogs you can work your way up to 1 Tbsp, 2x daily. ✅ If there still seems little loose, you can back the amount by half. But, this period of adjustment will phase out. ❗️If your dog’s body odor has changed at all during this period, which some people will say happens. It does go away again overtime as the body adjust, but to help with that you can add 1 TBSP of CEYLON Cinnamon to the above recipe at the end of the cooking process and stir it in. ❗️DO NOT USE CASSIA Cinnamon. It is stronger and spicy. Ceylon is lighter in color and less bitter. ❤️👍 ALWAYS check with your vet before starting a new diet, supplements, and or vitamins for your dog! Just like you would check for yourself with your doctor. #lbk9solutions #vmk9 #dog #doglover #dogsofinstagram #DogWellness #DogNutrition #dognutritionist #k9 #k9fitness #dogfitness #dogtherapy #dietplan #nutrition #dogfood #homemade #raw #localbusiness #florida
