We’ve explored the benefits of fibre before, but we just can’t get enough of this all-important nutrient. So, what makes it so special? The obvious benefit is that it helps maintain a healthy digestive system. Did you know it’s also great for controlling blood pressure and sugar levels? It really is the nutrient that keeps on giving!
Pet owners who have opted for a raw dog food diet may be wondering if their furry friends are getting enough fibre. If they show signs of digestive problems like diarrhoea
or constipation, chances are they need more roughage.
Here are a few raw ingredients to consider adding to their diet:
- Pumpkin
- Ground Flaxseed
- Lettuce
- Apples
- Carrots
- Green Beans
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
These ingredients can also be used as snacks for dogs with mild digestive issues. Before adding fibre to their diet, however, it’s important to consult your vet.
For those looking instead for a product range that ticks all the nutritional boxes, consider Complete Pet. Our dog food includes the perfect amount of crude fibre for your doggo.
