MARCH 14, 2024 FRUITS AND PETS

We need to eat fruits and vegetables every day. Dogs and birds are no exception. You would think eating fruits is only limited to birds but it is not. I have an Amazon Green Doubled Napped Yellow Parrot. Her name is Gracie and she will be 35 years old. She is very dear to my heart ( as all of my animals have been ) Gracie does eats nuts and seeds ( limited ) , but she also eats fruits and vegetables. Orange, red, and yellow vegetables, such as squash, peppers, carrots, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes, contain vitamin A – a nutrient essential to birds' immune systems, kidneys, skin, and feathers – and are ideal choices for birds. Fruits should not exceed 10% of Gracie’s daily intake. I limit high-fat foods like seeds and nuts,

For my 3 dogs, ( Chaplin age 8, Boone age 4, and Buddy age 2 ) there are many different types of food that you can feed your furry friend, but if you’re looking for the best option, you should consider feeding them top-rated fruits. Yes I said fruits. By the way all of the dogs are recues. Two of my three dogs love to eat bananas Bananas contain nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B-12, which are essential for maintaining your furry friend’s health. The other fruit these male dogs ingest are apples. Apples are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, making them perfect for keeping your furry friend healthy. Pears are another excellent choice for your furry friend. They have nutrients like vitamin C, copper, and fiber. Pears are also relatively affordable and easy to find. Like apples, they are not a messy fruit,

You wouldn’t think a dog would love pineapples, but they do. Pineapples are another excellent fruit for your furry friend. They are a great source of vitamin C, essential for boosting your furry friend’s immune system. Additionally, they contain bromeliad, an enzyme that can help with digestion. Even cantaloupes are dog friendly, but not for my 3 men . They seem not to like the taste. It happens.

In the summertime, the dogs love watermelon. Who doesn’t love watermelon in the summer. Watermelon is a great source of vitamins A and C and potassium. It’s also low in calories, making it a good choice for pets who need to watch their weight. Additionally, watermelon contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect your furry friend from disease

So please incorporate fruits into your pet’s dietary lifestyle

Until tomorrow…
