Wellness Wednesday – Fruits/Veggies
Bananas are high in fiber, which can help if your dog is having gastrointestinal problems, and magnesium, which promotes bone growth and helps the body produce protein and absorb vitamins. Mangoes are high in fiber, as well as vitamin A, B6, C, and E, making them quite nutritious for both humans and dogs. Watermelon is rich in potassium and vitamin C, and it’s also a great source of vitamins A and B6. Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, vitamins B1 and B6, and vitamin K, as well as fiber, potassium, omega–3 fatty acids, magnesium, iodine, and folic acid. Apples provide vitamin A, vitamin C and dietary fibre. They also provide a way to keep your dog’s teeth clean and helps to freshen their breath! Carrots are an excellent low-calorie snack that is high in fiber and beta-carotene, which produces vitamin A. Broccoli is high in fiber and vitamin C and low in fat. Cucumbers are a hydrating food because their water content is 96%. They are also low in calories and sugar
After having some (but not all!) pups turn their nose at healthy options on Foundation Fridays, we’re going to be offering fruits or veggies on Wellness Wednesdays instead! These treats will be complimentary and handed out at nap time. Opt in at drop-off!
