Dogs Need Nutrition Too

Nutrition for dogs!

I went to this awesome nutrition class for dogs! It was held by Dr. Jessica Levy and Katie K9 at Ruff House (indoor dog park in Edina)  It was so amazing.

When we think of feeding our animals we go get the “same” dog food bag each time...right? But that is not what we should be doing! If you read the ingredients on dog food its pretty gross…yuck. Let me tell you a few things I learned!

Feed your dogs grain-free food, soak there kibble in warm water before serving and you should only feed them twice a day. Many higher end dog stores carry dehydrated or raw food, that is a wonderful choice for your pet! Feed them veggies as treats like: green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes.

As for supplements (dogs need vitamins too) Standard Process is an excellent choice (get it in the fridge section).

I want to thank Dr. Jessica Levy for all your wonderful care you gave my Zoey when she was sick and Katie K9 for your awesome “spray bottle” technique for my puppy! You two are amazing!
