Dog Food & Nutrition

Urinary tract infections are fairly common in dogs, and they're usually not something to be too concerned about. This dog food recipe for UTI issues may help your pet, but it's important to run the recipe past your veterinarian first. If you believe that your dog has a urinary tract infection, you need to consult your veterinarian for a urinalysis in order to be sure. Your veterinarian will want a urine sample from your pet, and I've made a quick guide on how to obtain one easily.

Cinnamon is often added to human food recipes to jazz up the flavor and add some additional nutrients. This cinnamon banana dog treat recipe can do the same for your pet! Cinnamon has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. If your dog is older or overweight, adding cinnamon to his diet has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Cranberries and coconut are both superfoods for dogs. These coconut and cranberry dog treats are an easy way to add some extra nutrients to your pets diet. Cranberries are high in fiber and antioxidants, which help prevent disease and boost your dog's immune system. Adding cranberries to your dog's diet can also help if he is having urinary tract issues.

If you buy canned food for your pets, you've probably struggled to find a way to keep it arranged in your cupboards. The Duke-N-Boots canned food organizer makes it easy to keep all of your pet's food together and your pantry organized. Organization is key in our house. We have 3 dogs and 7 cats. Some of our pets are seniors, while others are young. We have to buy many types of food to keep everyone happy and healthy. Not to mention, we have a lot of canned human food too.

Providing the right nutrition for your dog is all about balanced nutrition. High protein homemade dog food isn't going to be right for every dog. Be sure to discuss any dietary changes with your veterinarian or a trained canine nutritionist before making the switch. Protein isn't just the building block of muscle. It also aids in nerve function and helps to build strong bones.

Everyone enjoys a good stir fry, even our dogs. This chicken and kale stir fry for dogs recipe would make a great meal for your pets or your human family members. Homemade dog food is a great option, when it's properly prepared. It's important to consult an expert on canine nutrition before switching your pet to a homemade diet. Not all human foods are safe for dogs, and you need to make sure you're feeding a balanced diet.

Peanut butter is a great ingredient to add to homemade dog treats. These parsley dog treats include peanut butter to add a tasty nutritional boost to your pup's diet. Peanut butter is a great source of healthy fats and protein. It is also high in niacin as well as Vitamins B and E. Be sure to look closely at the ingredients of the peanut butter that you choose. Make sure it does not contain xylitol.

Most dogs love chicken, but getting your pet to eat sage could be a challenge. These sage dog biscuits are a favorite with our pack, and they offer a lot of nutritional benefits. In small amounts, sage is safe for dogs to eat. It is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it is especially good for dogs with arthritis and other inflammation issues.
