Check out 10 Healthy Food Items you can include in your Dog’s Diet

Whether it is animal or human, healthy life is essential for every living being. Therefore, pet lover Stephanie Taunton encourage everyone to focus on the health of your pet as much as you focus on your health. When your dog gives you an emotional look and asks for a bite of whatever you are eating, you feel like dying when you say no. Dogs can’t eat many of the foods that humans eat, but there are few exceptional foods that we can actually include in our pet’s diet.

Here are few healthy food items you can include in your dog’s diet:

Chicken

You can cook chicken and add it to your dog’s meal as it is full of nutrition and flavor. If a dog required extra protein in his diet, chicken is a good meal for your dog’s health. Make sure you always give your dog cooked, unseasoned, chicken though, never raw chicken.

Cheese

Cheese

Cheese and dogs have a great relationship, however, it can cause a problem like gas, diarrhea if consumed in excess. No issue if you feed your dog a piece of either cottage cheese or regular cheese in the right proportion, but it is better if you opt for low-fat cheese varieties to avoid any problem like weight gain, or any other reaction.

Eggs

Eggs

If you want to feed your dog rich protein diet, Eggs are one of the best options since they are loaded with protein as well as selenium and riboflavin. You can feed your dog scramble egg as an evening snack. Needless to say, they are high in protein, but they’re also high in fat, so don’t feed your pet too many of them. Don’t give your dog raw eggs, as it can increase the risk of infection from bacteria known as salmonella.

Yogurt
