Dog food

31 October 2024 by Sommer

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.
