Healthy Foods to Share With Your Pet

Many people love sharing their treats with their pet, however most of those things tend to be bad for your dog. Giving your dog the basic dog treats can also get boring after awhile. Here are a couple different snacks that are great to share with your pet. The first food that is good to share is squash. Squash (either cooked or raw) is a delicious vegetable which is very high in beta carotene. This is good for eyesight, much like carrots. Another tasty food to share with your pup is pasta. Plain, cooked noodles are a excellent snack for your dog. Make sure that your dog does not have any wheat allergies before giving them pasta though. Chicken broth is also a food to treat your pet with. As long as it is low-sodium, you can add it to their regular food. If you like to share fruit with your dog, the best fruit to give them is pomegranate. Whether in juice form or as whole fruit, pomegranate provides antioxidants and vitamin C. Last, but not least, for some protein, give your pup some cheese! Most dogs enjoy this treat already, but don't realize it is high in calcium and protein. So when your pup gets sick of the everyday dog treats, you can give your dog a yummy snack that is fresh, so you don't feel guilty about sharing!
