Hey, there! How is your furry friend? Taking care of your dog is one of the most
fulfilling tasks. As a pet parent, I know the joy we all feel
seeing our dogs jump up and down when you say you’ll take them for a walk. The sparkle in their eyes when you say it
is playtime is simply precious. But if you want them to be with you for a
long time, you need to take care of their health. We often hear that you should only be feeding
them dog food. But that’s not true. In today’s video, we will talk about 12
human foods that are really good for your dog’s health. Is bone broth healthy for your dog? What about organ meats? How about carrots and apples? We’ll be talking about all of this AND more... Bone Broth If there’s one thing you should be feeding
your dog, it has to be bone broth. It’s awesome for dogs and offers tremendous
health benefits. Bone broth is like a healing liquid for them. Here’s why? Bone broth improves your dog’s digestion
and heals a ‘leaky gut’. Remember, the majority of diseases like inflammation,
allergies and autoimmune disorders start from the gut. Bone broth has gelatin to repair the mucus
lining of the gut. This prevents your dog’s gut from leaking
toxins into the bloodstream. Bone broth is known for its role in detoxing
the liver. It carries minerals, electrolytes and acids
that put your dog’s liver on detox. Bone broth has powerful anti-inflammatories
that reduce inflammation and provide relief from muscle and joint pain. If you want your dog to have strong bones
and muscles, give them bone broth. It even boosts their immunity, supports brain
function and improves skin health. But the biggest reason you should give them
bone broth is that the nutrients are good for them. Bone broth is prepared by simmering bones
for several days with apple cider vinegar. All the nutrients will slowly break down and
be ready for absorption. Have you tried giving your dog bone broth? How do you make it? Share your experience with the Bestie community

is really good for your beloved dog. Raw milk in particular contains a lot of nutrients. It has vitamins A, D, K2, healthy fats and
amino acids. Raw milk also has probiotics and digestive
enzymes that repair leaky gut and boost skin health. It has minerals and electrolytes which strengthen
the immune system and reduce allergies. But why the special preference to raw goat
milk over cow’s milk? Because it is less allergenic, your dog will
be able to digest it easily. Fat globules in goats milk are smaller and
easier for your dog to absorb. It contains more vitamin A, selenium and zinc. And the best part- Goat milk contains 30 to
35% medium chain triglycerides, as compared to cow’s milk, which contains 15 to 20%. MCT’s are healthy fats your dog needs to
stay healthy. Always start with smaller amounts and work
your way up. Carrots Don’t we all love our dog’s soft skin? Well carrots are certainly IN if you would
like your dog to have healthy skin. Carrots are an awesome source of vitamin A.
They boost your dog’s immunity, promoting skin and coat health. That’s not all... Chewing carrots not only keeps your dog occupied,
but is also good for its teeth. It helps remove plaque, which otherwise contributes
to your teeth rotting. Just remember to feed them carrots in moderation. They’re good, but excess can lead to Vitamin
A toxicity, which is dangerous for your dog. Apples An apple a day keeps the doctor away for humans. But what about dogs? Apples are healthy, fiber-rich fruits you
can give to your dog. Just remove the pits. They contain a form of cyanide that is dangerous
for your pooch. Apples are a rich source of vitamins A, C,
and fiber. Vitamin C boosts immunity, while vitamin A
is an excellent antioxidant that improves skin and coat health. And in case your dog is overweight, apples
are a good option to provide nutrition without excess calories. Just check the apple thoroughly before feeding
it to your dog. Rotten apples can cause alcohol poisoning
in dogs. Eggs For a long time, eggs were considered bad
due to their cholesterol content. Thankfully, things have changed for the better
as more and more studies have pointed out how great they are! Cholesterol in eggs is good cholesterol. They contain amino acids that help build muscle,
repair tissues, and strengthen hair. Being rich in calcium, eggs are good for your
dog’s bones and teeth. Biotin and vitamins further make eggs great
for your pooch’s health. And it would be awesome if you can get organic
eggs. Wash them properly, grind the shells and feed
them to your dog. To avoid a digestive upset, feed your dog
a combination of raw and cooked eggs. Green Beans Like us, dogs love snacking. And green beans are excellent healthy snacks. They contain vitamins A, C, and K, which boost
their immunity and healthy blood composition. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting. Then there is iron and magnesium. Iron promotes blood health and magnesium is
involved in all movements like walking, heart beats and breathing. Just remember to feed green beans alone. Do not get the store bought ones that are
fried and contain spices like paprika, onion, garlic and salt. Organ Meats We all know meat is good for dogs. But not all meats are equal. Organ meats and glands are exceptionally good
because they are very nutritionally dense. The liver, brain, kidneys and heart are top
choices for healthy organ meats. Your dog gets various vitamins, iron, riboflavin,
and zinc from organ meats. The brain meat gives omega 3, vitamin B12,
selenium and zinc. Adrenal glands are a good source of vitamin
C. And to get collagen and amino acids, feed your fur baby heart organ meat. They are blood builders. If possible, try to get organic organ meats
from pasture-raised animals. Before we move on, here is another video you

can seriously hurt your dog. Salmon Feeding salmon to your dog can be a bit expensive. So why not try to give it to them just every
now and then? Salmon is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty
acids, which means your dog gets to have a shiny luscious coat and skin. Omega 3 fatty acids are also excellent for
your dog’s heart health and brain functioning. The combination of omega 3 and low-fat high-protein
makes salmon excellent for your dog’s immunity and muscles. It also reduces inflammation. Turkey Dogs love the taste of turkey. This is often why you catch your uncle feeding
it to them at the table during Thanksgiving dinner. If you have a picky eater, try and entice
them with turkey. Choose the plain kind. It is highly nutritious. In fact, most pet foods list turkey as an
ingredient on the label. You can ground turkey necks and add them to
your dog’s food. It will give them plenty of essential fatty
acids, proteins and calcium. Chicken Well chicken meat needs no introduction. It is already one of the most common pet food
ingredients. It is affordable in comparison to salmon,
and provides plenty of nutrients like protein and vitamins, especially vitamin-B. Although commercial pet foods containing chicken
claim to have vitamin-B, this particular vitamin is very fragile. It can be destroyed if the food is left out
in the sun, or allowed to get too hot. There are also antioxidants your dog needs. If you’re feeding your dog homemade food,
include unseasoned chicken. Do not give them cooked bones, as they have
a tendency to get shredded and injure your dog’s intestines. If you are getting commercial dog food, make
sure to store them in a clean, dry and cool place. Pumpkin Pumpkin is a low-calorie superfood for your
dog. It contains ample nutrients, vitamins and
fiber to keep your dog healthy. It boosts their urinary health, regulates
digestion and is a natural deworming agent. Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber. If your dog is overweight, you can give them
pumpkins to keep them full for a longer period. Fiber also adds to the bulk of stool, preventing
constipation. And the best part is you can feed them the
entire pumpkin. Its seeds have amino acids. The skin contains health-boosting oils. Also, the pulp is delicious! Coconut My dog is crazy about fresh coconut. He wouldn’t even let me drink my coconut
water without giving me sad eyes. Coconut has easily digestible fatty acids
and electrolytes that boost your dog’s health. This tree-fruit is completely non-toxic and
has ample antioxidants that reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Even coconut oil is great for your dog’s
skin and health. Some dogs might face a digestive upset if
you give them too much coconut flesh all at once. Give them coconut in moderation. Do you give your dog any of these healthy
foods? Let us know in the comments below. We would love to hear from you!
