Would You Feed Your Dog a Raw Egg?
|
There are great natural dog food supplements you probably have right in your own kitchen.
These fun add-ins straight from your kitchen to your pet’s dish will boost his health inside and out and taste great too.
Here are the top 7 quick and easy kitchen items you can add to your pet’s meal to improve his health and make his heart and coat super healthy.
Top 7 Quick and Easy Natural Dog Food Add-Ins
1--Flaxseeds—easy to sprinkle on the kibble or put into bakeddog treat recipes. Flaxseeds are loaded with the “good fats” like fish oil.Flaxseed are terrific anti-inflammatories, so, if your pet is getting older, this can help with the onset of arthritis.
2-Olive oil—dribble a little over his kibble, a tsp. or tablespoon will do (use your dog’s size as guidance). This will make his coat smooth and glossy. Olive oil is another good source of Omega 3's.
3-Broken egg over his kibble—You can even feed the shell, it’s loaded with calcium and many dogs like the crunchiness.
4-Chicken broth—ok, just a tasty alternative to dry kibble, but “add-ins”, like our grandmother’s fed their pets, can add to their health because they’re getting a variety of nutrients and vitamins.
5- Fish oil –I give mine salmon oil pills and he eats them like treats. Not only is the salmon oil full of good fats for his coat and his insides --it’s also good for his heart and joints—and it’s an anti-inflammatory to help with his arthritis. Omega 3’s are found in fatty fish like salmon and are great for both you and your pet.
You can get convenient and easy-to-feed supplements or a liquid to pour over your pet’s food at your local pet store or order here from Only Natural Pet store
6- Canned pumpkin —make sure you use plain pumpkin, not the spiced pie kind. Pumpkin is filled with vitamins. Just a daily or periodic (a few times a week) scoop on the kibble will work. It's packed with health benefits and deserves to be brought out for more than just for Thanksgiving.
7- Yogurt--make sure it’s the plain kind, but a little yogurt is filled with good bacteria and will help with digestion.
This is a great reference book for dog caregivers. Written by a veterinarian, it covers most health issues with an emphasis on natural care, especially preventive care.
