No matter how hard we try to maintain our dog’s diet but at times we just can’t resist rewarding them with a treat. If you’d like to reward your pet with a table scrap, make sure you choose food that is safe for canine tummies. Here’s a list of foods you can give to your pets without hesitation.
\n\n\n\nPeanut butter is a favorite treat of many canines. Not only is it a good source of protein, but it also contains heart-healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin, and vitamin E. You can keep your dog busy for hours by stuffing some peanut butter into their Kong.
\n\n\n\nCooked chicken can be slipped into the bowl along with your dog’s regular food to add a spice and extra protein to its diet. This also makes a good meal replacement if you’re out of dog food.
\n\n\n\nA great treat for a dog as long as she isn’t lactose intolerant, which a few are. Make sure to monitor your dog’s reaction. Opt for low or reduced fat varieties and don’t overfeed as many kinds of cheese can be high in fat.
\n\n\n\nGood for a dog’s teeth, carrots are low calorie and high in fiber and beta-carotene/vitamin A.
\n\n\n\nYogurts are high in calcium and protein. You should always check the ingredients used in a yogurt. Please don’t serve your pet with yogurt that contains artificial sweeteners or sugar. Yogurts with active bacteria can act as a probiotic and are good for your dog’s digestive system.
\n\n\n\nBy feeding him salmon you can give your pet a regular dose of omega 3 fatty acids that will help you keep your dog’s coat healthy and shiny. It will also help in boosting their immune system.
\n\n\n\nPumpkin is a good source of fiber as well as beta-carotene/vitamin A. It can help your dog aid with digestive issues and will also ensure that his GI tract functions properly.
\n\n\n\nThere are not many human foods that you can feed your dog with. Remember to try them in small amounts. If your dog experiences any sort of reaction, immediately consult a veterinarian.
