Nutrition:
Eggs: are one of the cheapest sources of high quality protein and essential fatty acids you can buy. They are a whole food and contain all the nutrients required for the growth of a new chicken. Egg whites and whole eggs are fine as part of a balanced diet. Dogs have been consuming whole eggs for generations with no problems. Whenever you want to add protein to a dish for your dog one of the best things you can add is an egg. You can also whisk in some brewer's yeast to a raw egg -- dogs will love them.
Feta cheese: Is dried out goat or sheep's milk with a salty tangy flavour. As a dog food it is a source of protein and fat. It is of course a cooked food. It has had the whey removed which includes the milk sugar lactose, and the amino acid taurine. It is not a complete food however as part of a varied diet, feeding cheese in small amounts to your dog is fine. Don't go overboard as lots of cheese will result in excesses of protein, calcium, salt and fat, to the detriment of your dog's health. Because it has had the lactose or milk sugar removed, it may safely be fed to dogs with lactose intolerance.
Fish Oil: Benefits the skin, joints and provides essential fatty acids and can help with cardio vascular support. The omega 3 fatty acids in fish oil improve the coat and skin. Aids mental development in puppies, improves cognitive function in older dogs, lowers blood pressure and provides support for dogs with kidney disease, heart disease and cancer. It is also thought to promote weight loss in overweight dogs.
Garlic: In small amounts is fine. Kyolic garlic or fermented garlic is best and has proven to be the least likely to cause stomach upsets compared to raw garlic straight from the garden. It is a useful herb with definite health advantages when used in small measured amounts. Garlic stabilizes blood pressure and is an immune system boost. It has a good effect on dogs with fleas and acts as a deterrent however it can also cause your dog to smell of garlic. Garlic in excess is not good however so just use in small amounts as it is a powerful herb.
Kale: Is a 'superfood'! It's full of nutrients and so easy to add to your dog's diet. High in beta carotene, Vitamins K & C it's also a great source of calcium magnesium.
Pumpkin: Adds variety and fibre and is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of beta carotene which is good for the eyes and boosts the immune system.
Wheat has protein, fibre , Vitamins E&B. It is fine in small doses such as when used for treats but a wheat based diet is not recommended. Commercial dog food is usually packed with wheat.
Tip:
Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze in plastic sealed packs for easy portion control.
