Unlike cats, dogs can and should be fed vegetables. They help maintain the health of the pet.

Just don't misunderstand the words and fanatically introduce vegetables into your dog's diet.

Experts from the University of Florida spoke about the need to maintain a balanced diet and why dogs don’t need extra vegetables.

Extra vegetables

Dry food is a balanced diet. But if you add an abundance of vegetables to the diet, there is a high probability of upsetting this balance.

The resulting excess of vitamins and minerals will not benefit the dog's health.

How to do it right

No one forbids feeding your dog vegetables instead of treats. They can be used as a supplement to food, but always in moderation.

It is also recommended to boil vegetables, which will improve their absorption.

What can you feed your dog?

Broccoli, carrots, and green beans will do.

Onions and avocados, as well as mushrooms, can be harmful to your pet's health.

It would be a good idea to seek help from a veterinarian when preparing your pet’s diet.

He will take into account the age, breed and health of the dog, and then suggest how to create a suitable menu.

For reference

Diet or ration is a set of rules for the consumption of food by humans or other animals. Diet can be characterized by such factors as the chemical composition, physical properties, culinary processing of food, as well as the time and intervals of eating.
