How To Feed Our Pet More Naturally
They say we are what we eat, and this is also true of our pets. The feeding of these must be complete and provide everything necessary so that they are healthy on the outside but especially on the inside. Today the natural is carried, free of chemicals and processes, but how to feed our pet in a more natural way?
Feed our pet in a more natural way, how to do it?
We have already talked to you on some occasions about the benefits of the BARF diet, not only for our dogs, but also for our cats. We must not forget that, although they are animals, they are living beings on Earth that can feed in much the same way as us as long as we avoid some foods that are harmful to them.
Many vegetables and fruits are suitable for our friends and we just need to know which ones can benefit them and which ones cannot. What is clear is that, despite the myths surrounding this issue, feeding our pet more naturally is always a good idea.
What natural foods are beneficial for our pets
The chicken
Although many of the processed foods have chicken as the main ingredient, making them at home will give an extra contribution of protein to your pet’s diet. Just remember that raw meat should never be given to our pets. This must be cooked or grilled, without fat or salt.
The chicken will like both dogs and cats, although remember to choose parts of this bird that do not have small bones that could cause problems when ingesting them.
Fish
Despite the fame that this food has earned in relation to cats, it is also very popular with buts and provides them not only protein, but also essential oils that benefit their body. As with chicken, it should always be cooked without fat or salt and those fish with many bones should be avoided.
Fruits and rice
Rice and pasta combined with some vegetables, as long as onion and garlic are avoided, are ideal recipes for our pets. If you want to accompany them with a sauce, avoid those prepared with tomato, as they tend to have a high sugar content that will not benefit your pet.
Among the fruits suitable for cats and dogs is the apple – without seeds – or the banana, although it is necessary to avoid grapes and raisins, cherries, currants and avocado.
Yogurts
It is known to all that milk attracts the attention of cats, although dogs also love it. In fact, if they see you eating a yogurt they will quickly go to wait for you to give them the empty jar to lick it. Although you don’t have to give it to them very often, it can be an incredible reward for them and will help them get to their food.
Vegetables
There are many vegetables that are suitable for our pets, although these should not be the main food of the diet, since meat and fish – animal proteins – are the main thing in their diet. Mixing both ingredients will create a delicious recipe that will make your pet suck on its paws.
Remember that like meat or fish, vegetables should be well cooked and tender so that they are not difficult to chew.
Peanuts
Believe it or not, peanuts are one of the foods that our pets like the most. Due to its high fat content, it is not something that we should give very often, but prepare some homemade cookies with them as the main ingredient: it will become a whimsical treat for your pet.
The easiest thing to do is to make it with peanut butter and wheat flour. Add a little water, shape and bake at 180 degrees. You’ll see how your pet thanks you!
You see that it is easy to feed our pet in a more natural way, as well as avoid all the chemicals and processes that prepared food has. This will benefit your pet in the long run and make his health last longer.
