March 2013 Tip – Feed Whole Foods

Feeding whole foods is increasingly recognized as an important step in maintaining and improving health. One easy way to begin incorporating whole foods into your dog’s diet is by feeding raw, whole food treats instead of commercial dog biscuits. When you are munching on healthy foods, share them with your dog! Examples of raw whole food treats you can feed your dog include root vegetables, such as carrots and parsnips, apples, berries, and melon. Keep treat-sized morsels of these whole foods in the refrigerator for easy access when your dog deserves a treat.
