7 Pup-Friendly Foods That Can Make Them Healthier and Happier ...

I adore pumpkin, and it’s one of the best pup-friendly foods. Use canned pumpkin to give to your dogs, and mix it with a little meat, or regular dog food. It’s great for digestive issues like constipation or hemorrhoids, and also great for their coat as well.

Brown rice is found in many dog foods, but dogs prefer the whole food if you can spare some. Cook some brown rice in chicken broth or water, and give them a bit. It’s great to soothe a sore tummy, or just for general health.

Lean chicken meat is one of the best foods to give your dog. Many animals do better with animal protein in their diet, and chicken is a great lean protein to feed them. You can use shredded chicken, and give them a few bits if they won’t eat, or don’t like the dog food you have.

Along with pumpkin, carrots are another orange veggie dogs love. Carrots have a sweet taste, and they’re cleansing for a dog’s palate. You can give them chopped raw carrots, or cooked carrots if they have trouble chewing. Carrots are also great for digestive issues, along with boosting their mood since they are high in B vitamins and magnesium.

Yep, along with chicken, dogs love fish! Fish is a great healthy food for your dog, and for you if you eat animal protein. Use low mercury fish whenever possible, and never feed your dog raw fish. The omega 3’s in fish are great for their heart, coat, mood, and their digestive tract. It’s also fantastic for their metabolism, just like it is yours!

Unless your dog has a lactose intolerance or allergy, they will love yogurt! This is one of my dog’s favorite foods. I do suggest using organic and plain yogurt. Sweetened varieties can and usually do, contain additives, artificial sweeteners, or even food coloring that are bad for your dog, and for you.

My dogs love coconut oil and so will yours! This miraculous food can help treat fleas can help improve their coat and skin, and coconut oil can also help increase their metabolism. I also notice my dogs’ mood improves when they eat coconut oil. Coconut oil is a great fat to help with digestive issues in your dog’s diet too, and it comes with all the same benefits for them as it does for humans. Plus, they just love it! My dogs come running as soon as they hear me open the jar, and I’m not even kidding.

Some other favorites my dogs have are berries, whole grain bread, and potatoes. Do your dogs have any foods they just love?
