5 Food Your Dog Loves To Eat

Having a dog is one of life’s great delights. It’s almost like taking care of a child-one that never grows up! It comes with great responsibility, but with equally great benefits, and a burst of love and affection in one’s life. For all the dog-owners out there, pampering their special furry buddies is a privilege like no other. Which is why, they’re always looking for varied delicacies to give their dog, to reward them for being such “good boys/girls”! For those dog lovers who just want to see their special pooches wag their tails in happiness, here’s a list of 10 foods that your dog will absolutely love to eat; and bark in appreciation for-

# Apples

Apples could quite possibly be your dog’s favorite treat. If you fill their bowl up with Apples, they’ll lick it clean for sure. They’re sweet, juicy and healthy-a perfect dessert! Apples are loaded with anti-oxidants and Vitamin-C. Moreover, they are fiber-rich, and this fiber helps to clean the residue off your dog’s teeth, which leads to fresher breath. Be sure to take out the core and seeds before you give your dog an apple, and if they find the skin uncomfortable to swallow, peel that off as well!

# Pumpkin

Pumpkins are a nice, moist treat for your dog. They is not only enjoyable taste-wise, but they keep your dog’s gastro-intestinal tract clean, helps in digestion, and alleviates Diarrhea and Constipation; relieving them of some painful tummy issues. Pumpkins are rich in fiber, anti-oxidants and Vitamin-A, which means they help the cardio-vascular system as well. All, in, all, pumpkins are a great dish for your pooch. Serve them cooked or steamed!

# Yoghurt

Creamy, light and frothy- Yoghurt is a dreamy, dairy treat for your dog; especially since milk and most dairy products cause digestive issues for your pet, because pets do not possess significant amounts of lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose in milk). It is very high in Calcium and Protein, and is great for digestion. It is best to buy unflavored yoghurt, which is free of preservatives, for your dog. Ideally, it should be unsweetened as well, but a pinch and drizzle of sugar is not harmful, and only enhances the taste. Remember never to serve your dog Yoghurt that has gone too sour. If it’s too sour for you, it’s too sour for your pooch!

# Cheese

If you thought you were the only one obsessed with cheesy treats, you’re mistaken; because your furry friend isn’t far behind! As mentioned earlier, whole milk and dogs aren’t a great combination. Which is why, cheese-a dairy derivative, is the perfect solution, to your needs. Your dog loves to snack on cheese for obvious reasons- it is creamy, rich, warm and smooth. It definitely provides them with a feel-good factor. Moreover it is high on protein, and essential fats. The only downside to Cheese is, that it can be quite high in fat content, which means only a little can be given at a time. A healthier, low fat alternative to this would be Cottage Cheese, which possesses much of the same characteristics.

# Meat and Fish

Some of the most common meats included in dog diets are:Beef, Chicken, Liver, Turkey, Venison and Duck. Real meat is a perfect source of organic protein.
