Sweet potatoes:
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of dietary fibre. This helps your dog’s digestive system to function more effectively. Sweet potatoes are also low in fat and rich in Vitamins A B and C. Vitamin A maintains healthy eyes, muscles, nerves, and skin. While vitamin C is critical for a properly functioning immune system.
Parsley:
Is a great green to add to your dogs diet! It can freshen their breath, help with urinary tract infections, and also provide itch relief. Adding a dash to the chili is great overall for your dog. It includes so many vitamins as well
Olive oil:
Extra virgin olive oil is full of vitamins and antioxidants. Adding small amounts of it to your dogs diet can contribute to a healthy coat, weight control, joint health, immunity boost, digestive health, and heart health!
