To keep your pet strong and healthy, you should give him porridge - it is a source of fiber, carbohydrates, microelements and vitamins.
According to experts, porridge should make up 25 to 40% of an animal’s diet, depending on its breed.
What kind of cereals can be given to dogs
Buckwheat
Buckwheat porridge contains a large amount of magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, as well as proteins and vitamins B and E.
Such a rich composition allows buckwheat to have a beneficial effect on the nervous and circulatory systems of the animal. In addition, porridge cooked from this cereal strengthens bones and prevents excess weight in dogs.
Rice
Rice porridge boasts vitamin B content and various microelements, including zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium and calcium.
Rice porridge promotes normal heart function, has a beneficial effect on the nervous and genitourinary systems, strengthens blood vessels and bones. However, in some dogs, eating rice can lead to constipation.
These two cereals – rice and buckwheat – should be the main ones in the dog’s diet.
