[Pet] Let’s eat healthy things together… Super food eaten together

Suri is a meat eater. When I eat fruit or vegetables, I have to overact and offer them up, pretending they are delicious, so I can pretend to eat at least as much as the ants’ tears. I’m just thankful that I can eat like this. So when I go grocery shopping, I make sure to bring some super foods that Suri and I can eat together.

blue carpet

Blueberries, known for being rich in antioxidants, are excellent at removing free radicals from the body. This strengthens the immune system, prevents aging, and inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It is also beneficial for eye health thanks to vitamin C and anthocyanins. However, if you eat with your pet, buy organic products. Even small amounts of toxins can be fatal to pets with poor detoxification capabilities.

broccoli

Broccoli is also full of antioxidants and has good anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Fiber helps digestion, and vitamins strengthen immunity. It is also effective in repairing damaged skin. To prevent nausea, feed cooked or covered food rather than raw, and cut it into small pieces as possible. However, the calcium oxalate contained in broccoli can form stones, so it should not be eaten if you have bladder or urinary tract stones.

sweet potato

Dogs and cats that eat mostly meat have little need for dietary fiber, so sweet potatoes are a good source of dietary fiber and carbohydrates. In addition, beta-carotene in sweet potatoes strengthens immunity and prevents cancer. However, carbohydrates and sugar cause weight gain, so the amount fed must be changed.

salmon

Fish is a source of high-quality protein and a source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega fatty acids improve the condition of the skin and hair and help blood circulation by diluting the blood. It is especially beneficial for the joint health of pets. Make sure they are fed cooked or dried, and you can add a few drops of salmon oil to the feed. Protein can stress the liver and kidneys, so avoid feeding it to pets with these diseases.

* Wisdom
There are some common things to watch out for. Regardless of how good an excellent food is for the body, excessive consumption is harmful and, depending on individual characteristics, it could cause allergies or make existing diseases worse. First, feed him very little and check the situation Even if there is no problem, be careful not to exceed 10% of the pet’s daily calories.
