Hey its me, Ryan. Iv'e got a new blog post for dog tips. Today I'm going to talk about food. A dog can't eat everything despite what you might think :).
Food, food, and more food. Thats what most dogs dream about. I like to call my dog 'The Vacuum Cleaner'. One thing to keep in mind is that you should always be aware of what falls on the floor. Chocolate, grapes, and large quantities of salt are very, very bad for most dogs health. But just because your dog eats a chocolate chip doesn't mean he/she is going to get very sick. It's if he/she consumes a large amount of it that he/she's at risk. Grapes on the other hand are considered toxic to dogs. Never let your dog get its slobbery lips on a grape. Too much salt can make a dog very thirsty and can give it sodium ion poisoning.
There also healthy things for you dog as well as bad things. If you grind up kale and lightly sprinkle it on your dogs food, it can help its hair get smoother and healthier and softer. More healthy things are protein, healthy heart fats, vitamin E , niacin, and vitamin B.

These are some really good tips, Ryan! I knew about the chocolate chips, but I didn't know about grapes until pretty recently. Now we pay special attention when we have grapes for supper! Now the real question is: is there a special food I can give my dog so he doesn't shed as much?? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about foods other than the kale powder will help with shedding. there shampooe that is supposed to help though
DeleteI didn't know grapes were toxic to dogs. I also didn't know kale makes dogs coats shinerer and fluffier, how much should i give my dog?
ReplyDeletecover the surface of the food with a thin layer and then shake the food around in the bowl to spread it out. its about 2 or 3 tbs.
