Have a pet?

So you have a dog or a cat and you have to feed it, right? And I'm going to assume that you go to the store and buy a bag of dry food or a can of wet food but do you know what you're really feeding it? I bet you don't. In most cases the food you get is all the parts we don't eat. They take the cow or chicken (or fish) and cut off the parts consumed by humans and take the rest of the animal and make your pets food with it. In some cases there will be cancerous parts thrown in along with the rest of the parts not fit to be consumed by humans. Recently more and more people have started feeding their dogs following the BARF diet which is Bones and Raw Food. Turns out that the healthiest meal for dogs is raw meat and some bones along with the occasional grains and veggies. But today's topic is dogs and cats so we're going to be discussing the fruits and vegetables best fit for your pets. Now *remember, feeding your pets too many fruits or vegetables can give them diarrhea so please be smart about how much you are feeding your pet if you do try this. First thing you need to know is NOT to feed your pet grapes. Not only can they choke on them but grapes and raisins can have a toxic effect and have been known to cause kidney failure. If your pet has allergies then you should feed it cooked potatoes but please refrain from feeding it raw potatoes because those aren't good for any pet. Tomatoes can lower the risk of cancers. Papaya and mango are a good source of vitamin C and for arthritis and other anti-inflammatory conditions because they have a cooling affect on the body. Dogs have a natural love for watermelon and it contains vitamins A, B6, and C. Bananas are are great because they'll change bacteria in the intestines from harmful types of bacilli to beneficial acidophiles bacilli. Pumpkin is like Pepto bismol for your pet. It'll cure constipation, diarrhea, upset stomachs, and indigestion. If you have an obese pet you can feed it some pureed pumpkin over it's food and it'll eat less because pumpkin will give your pet the feeling of being full. Broccoli will boost your pet's immune system and carrots will provide healthy eyes, glands, and skin. A lot of the information you found here for your pet also can apply to you, maybe you guys can enjoy dinner together one evening. [; Wanna know some more fruits and vegetables for your pet?
