Kennel Free Puppies

Dogs tolerate foods better than humans, because certain foods we consume can be detrimental to your dog, such as chocolate, which is well-known for its toxicity to dogs.

However, there are some things that we love and can easily share with our canine companions (in moderation, of course!) that are both nutritious and tasty.

This is not an exhaustive list, please consult with a reputable veterinarian about the quality of the diets you want to feed your dog.

Fruits

Fruits are a fine, nutritious food that is high in nutrition for your dog. Canned fruit, on the other hand, is usually made with a sugary syrup, but fresh or dried fruits with no added sugar are the perfect choice for occasional snacks. Remember to eat fruits in moderation because they naturally have a lot of sugar and, much as in humans, eating too much of any fruit will cause stomach upset.

Remove the seeds and pits because they can contain contaminants that are harmful to dogs.

Berries (fresh or frozen) (Blackberries, Blueberries, Raspberries)- offer in moderation.

Apple slices without the seeds

 Bananas

The cantaloupe

Cranberries 

Citrus fruits or Oranges

Mangoes

peaches

Pears (without seeds)

Remove the outer peel and spiky crown of the Pineapple first. In addition to Vitamins, Nutrients, and Fiber, Pineapples produce bromelain, an enzyme found in Pineapple that can help in protein digestion.

Strawberries– High in Vitamin C and Fiber, Strawberries will help whiten your dog’s teeth!

Watermelon—remove the rind and seeds because they may cause digestion problems, but the high water content allows this a perfect summer treat. Watermelon is also high in vitamins and potassium.

Vegetables:

Carrots are low in calories, high in fiber, and good for your dog’s teeth.

Cauliflower

Cucumbers are high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making them an excellent option for overweight pets.

New, frozen, or cooked green beans are both healthy for dogs; only select low or no-salt goods.

Peas– As for green beans, stop canned peas with extra salt or sodium.

Oatmeal is a good source of fiber. Cooked and unflavored, serve this at room temperature or cold. Don’t overfeed the dog because it’s rich in calories which can cause indigestion.

Peanut Butter– Avoid peanut butter that contains the sweetener xylitol because it is poisonous to dogs; otherwise, small levels of peanut butter are safe to provide to dogs. The healthiest peanut butter is unsalted, homemade peanut butter.

Owing to fears of salmonella or biotin deficiency developing from eating raw eggs, cooked eggs are advised.

Cheese–Some dogs, including humans, are cheese-intolerant, causing stomach discomfort, but cheese is a perfect treat in moderation.

Low-fat cheeses, such as cottage cheese or mozzarella, are better, lower the chance of obesity, and are typically smoother on your dog’s stomach.

If you are unsure about feeding human foods to your dog, do contact a doctor, and be on the lookout for signals that your dog is allergic to foods.

If you believe your dog has eaten something poisonous, call a doctor straight away.
