Dog food
Dogs love joining their owners in whatever they do. This includes eating as well.
It's not uncommon for dogs to look up to their human parents while they eat,
expecting them to share their food and for owners to fulfil their wishes by
giving them some table scraps. But did you ever think this habit of yours could
potentially harm your furry pal?
Dogs cannot eat all human foods. Therefore, it's important for owners to know
what foods they can and cannot share with their four-legged friends. We're here
to help you with just that.
The best healthy human treats for dogs.
Here are some of the human foods that make great treats for dogs. They are not
just safe but also healthy for your furry pet.
Pumpkin.
Whether or not you like the taste of pumpkin, most dogs do. It also
helps regulate their digestive system and can even fix mild diarrhea.
Carrots.
These low-calorie snacks are a good source of vitamin A and
beta-carotene. They are good for your pup's skin, coat, immune system, and
dental health. Don't give your dog too many carrots, though, as they may cause
gas.
Apples.
Packed with vitamins, apples are just as good for your pet's health as
they are for you. As a good source of fibre, apples help regulate your pup's
digestion, too. Just make sure not to let your pup eat its cores and
seeds.
Cooked Salmon.
It not just tastes great to them but is also good for their skin,
coat, and immune system.
Sardines.
Great source of protein, vitamins, and Omega-3 fatty acids. Dogs seem
to love their taste, too.
White Rice.
These can help fix an upset stomach but should only be given in small
quantities to dogs with diabetes as they cause spikes in blood sugar
levels.
Dairy products.
Dairy products should only be given to dogs in limited
quantities. Too much of them can cause digestive issues as dogs' bodies produce
only a small amount of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose.
