3 Superfoods for Your Dog

How much happier would we all be if we could feed our dogs healthy foods that are not only delicious for our dogs to eat but can save your dog from those expensive and harmful medications?

If you are wondering...what foods you can give your dog then I am going to share some amazing health improving foods that we think every dog should love.

What is even better is that these foods are all easy to find... and also are not expensive

If your dog is already eating a healthy, whole food diet then these extra foods will be more effective and your dog already has a good start on health and disease prevention

If your dog is eating a processed diet, then these extra foods will still make him a lot healthier. I think of my dog's food as his medicine and a worthwhile investment in my dogs health

The first food we can look at is OILS

Many of us give our dogs fish oil and that's good. We know that the Omega-3 oils in fish oil control inflammation in our dogs. Examples of Inflammatory conditions our dogs suffer are allergies, joint disease, heart disease and cancer. So a healthy daily dose of fish oil has been scientifically proven to help curb the inflammation in these conditions

If you are feeding a beef based pet food, then a good idea is to supplement your dog's diet with hempseed or walnut oil say a teaspoon of oil for every pound of food

For a chicken or other poultry-based foods, you can supplement your dog's diet with a teaspoon of flaxseed or chia oil for every pound of food.

To keep your dogs diet completely balanced, rotate the oils mentioned above

Of course we cannot forget about coconut oil and I suggest you add this on a fairly regular basis. Coconut oil has amazing benefits for your dog and I have listed some of them here

Clears up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis, and itchy skin

Prevents and treats yeast and fungal infections, including candida

Disinfects cuts and promotes wound healing

Improves digestion and nutrient absorption

Reduces or eliminates bad breath

Contains powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal agents that prevent infection and disease

Another great addition to your dogs food is kefir. This is fermented milk and contains major strains of friendly bacteria that cannot be found in yogurt.

Kefir also contains friendly yeast which in turns controls candida in your dog

In addition Kefir also contains many vitamins and mineral which aid in healing and has been shown to prevent allergies. Kefir has also been shown to reduce the risks of some cancers.

So how much Kefir should you give on a daily basis

Small size dogs or cats: 1 tsp - 1 tbsp

Medium size dogs: 1 - 2 tbsp

Large dogs: 2 -3 tbsp

Try these superfoods and you will see a difference very quickly!
