There are many concerns about the ingredients and supplements that we can add in the diets of our dogs. And there are many fruits and vegetables that we can include and that have multiple benefits for our 4-legged kids.

In this blog we are going to provide ideas of fruits and vegetables that we can add in our dogs’ diets. However, we would like to remind you that Bon Appetreat menus are already designed based on these fruits and vegetables, in addition to carrying meat.

Fresh fruits and vegetables provide many nutrients and benefits for dogs. They also contain an optimal amount of soluble fiber, and are rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids; in addition to having antioxidant and anti-aging properties. In fact, some of the ingredients they provide are essential for the proper functioning of our furry friend’s organism.

But, can dogs consume carbohydrates? As a general rule, dogs do not usually digest them well, since their physiology does not change due to the fact that for decades we have been feeding them with processed feed.

We must take into account that our furry dog does not digest well if we include cereals in his diet. In particular, they do not digest well some carbohydrates: corn, wheat, white rice, quinoa, among others.

However, fruits and vegetables are simple and easily absorbed carbohydrates, therefore, adding a small portion of fruits and vegetables in their diet will help us to provide extra nutrients necessary for our dog’s organism.

The dog’s ancestor, the wolf, used to include in its diet a small portion of fruits and vegetables naturally present in it, so for that reason it is important to include them as well.
