Because of our hectic schedule and busy days, feeding our best pal with mere dog food and artificial treats is one of the most convenient things to do when taking care of them. But did you know giving your pooch artificial foods alone is harmful to them?
So if you want to make your furry friend healthy and happy, start by giving him healthy foods, such as vegetables. With hundreds of varieties and kinds in the market, what are those that we can add to your dog's daily diet list?
BROCCOLI
Rich in fiber and vitamin C, but low in fat, broccoli is a perfect add-on to your pooch's diet. This vegetable is so beneficial, it can be served to your pooch either cooked or raw. Just make sure not to give your dog too much, advised Ultimate Home Life.
Broccoli also has isothiocyanates, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Also, when eating this vegetable, it is a must for you to look after them. Its stalks can obstruct their esophagus and can be life-threatening if left unattended.
CARROTS
This bright orange and colorful vegetable isn't just beautiful but it is also packed with minerals and nutrients your dog's body needs. It has fiber, vitamin A, and beta-carotene, which can help improve your dog's eyesight and digestive system. Also, with its crunchiness, it will be an amazing treat your dogs will surely love.
PEAS
It may seem small, but this green little vegetable is high in vitamin A and K, and several B vitamins. It is also rich in good stuff such as fiber, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, and protein, which your pooch will benefit from. May it be snow peas, green peas, English peas, or even sugar snap peas-all these you can give to your favorite pet.
In feeding this veggie to your dog, there is but one thing to remember. Too much of everything is still not good. So, always consider limiting the amount you will give to your pooch. Over-consumption can cause digestive issues, as explained by Rover.
Aside from broccoli, carrots, and peas, there are still other vegetables you should include to your dog's everyday diet. These vegetables include Brussels sprouts, celery, green beans, and spinach.
Though all vegetables are filled with essential vitamins and minerals, others can be pretty risky for dogs. Some of these are onions, mushrooms, and asparagus. You have to watch out for these.
