🐶🥕 Eat Your Veggies! 🥦✨ Top Safe Veggies for Your Pup! 🐾

Did you know that adding fresh veggies to your dog's diet can help increase hydration, provide crucial nutrients, and offer a low-calorie treat alternative? 🥒
Veggies are fantastic for their microbiome and provide essential fiber, prebiotics, and antioxidants. However, treats should only make up about 10% of your dog's daily diet.

Here are some of the best, safest veggies for your canine companion:
🥕 Carrots: Great for dental health, low in calories, and rich in beta-carotene (Vitamin A). Raw or cooked!
💚 Green Beans: Low-calorie and high in fiber, perfect for weight management and helping them feel full.
🎃 Plain Pumpkin: A superfood for digestion! It helps regulate bowels (great for constipation or diarrhea).
🥒 Cucumbers: 96% water, making them incredibly hydrating—especially for an overweight dog or during hot weather.
🥦 Broccoli: Safe in small amounts (steamed is best) for fiber and Vitamin C.
🍠 Sweet Potato: Cooked only! High in fiber and Vitamin A (great for skin/coat).

⚠️ Important Safety Notes:
Always introduce new foods slowly to watch for digestive upset.
Avoid: Onions, garlic, chives, leeks, and wild mushrooms—these are toxic.

Chop or Mash: Serve in small pieces to avoid choking, especially for small dogs.

No Seasonings: Serve all veggies plain, no salt or butter.

🌸 Spring has sprung, and that means warmer days for our pups! 🐶 As the weather warms up, it’s super important to be aware of the "critter crew" returning.

Check out the attached graphic for examples of common bite types. Identifying these early can help you decide the best course of action. If you are unsure or have any concerns, always reach out to your veternarian.
