Food Which You Can Share Safely With Your Dog
We love to share our meals with our dogs, While not all human foods are good for your canine friends, there are plenty of “people foods” that are 100% okay to share.
Rice
White rice is an easy-to-digest source of carbohydrates, and most dogs really enjoy the taste. Rice is a wonderful food for dogs suffering from diarrhea. However, feeding rice in every meal everyday may pose some long term health consequences. The only downside to adding a bit of plain, boiled white rice to your dog’s bowl is that rice is heavy on carbohydrates, and thus pretty calorically-dense. So be sure to cut back on the overall portion of his food if you decide to share a bit of rice with him, and only feed this as an occasional treat. Rice needs to be given to dog in small amounts as large amounts of rice can bowel up a dog. You can feed any kind of rice to your dog but make sure it is cooked.
Bone Broth
Bone broth is healthy, delicious, and good for skin, hair, joint, and gut health, regardless of species. Bone booster broths are a powerhouse of nutrients, including protein, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, as well as amino acids and glycine, collagen, keratin and gelatin, chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. They’re an easy way to provide him with quick nourishment, support the healing process, and give him an extra boost during strenuous activities.
Plain yogurt
Yogurt is high in calcium and protein. It also can act as a probiotic, which can be good for the digestive system. If you are going to feed your dog yogurt, it should be plain and free of any added sweeteners, both natural and artificial. Added sugars are not healthy for dogs or humans, and some artificial sweeteners, like xylitol, are toxic for dogs.
Fresh fruits
Many dogs love fruit – watermelon, peaches, apples, bananas, pears, etc. – and the only ones that are specifically off-limits for them are grapes (and subsequently raisins), since many dogs experience kidney failure after ingesting them
Nut butters
As, it is a rich source of protein, many canines like to have nut butter. Moreover, it also contains heart healthy fats, vitamin B and vitamin E. You need to be sure while buying such butter as some butter contains high xylitol as well as vegetable oils, which may cause digestion of dietary fat like pancreatitis so you need to be sure while purchasing those stuff and must choose raw, unsalted peanut butter.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes may be sweeter than regular potatoes, but they’re also a heck of a lot healthier for both you and your dog. These super potatoes contain tons of vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium and more to keep your pet healthy.
Cheese
It may sound cheesy, but cheese make the perfect treat for your pet during training or just because. If your pooch isn’t lactose intolerant, it’s perfectly okay to share your string cheese with your precious pet.
Eggs
Eggs are an excellent source of protein for your dog and can also add some shine to her coat. Believe it or not, your dog can eat every part of the egg, including its shell, which has proven nutritious for canines.
Popcorn
Popcorn makes a crunchy treat for your pup. It’s low-calorie and contains potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and calcium so it’s okay to share during movie night. However you need to skip the butter and salt.
