The majority of Americans own a pet (at least 68 percent, according to a 2016 report) so it’s safe to say we all love our dogs and cats. Once you’ve covered the basics like picking out the perfect bed, settling on a meal plan, and training pets in basic commands, there’s one more category to consider … treats! Snacks might not be essential, but they’re a pretty great way to show your pet some extra affection, or even help with training.
Healthy Dog Food Ingredients
Just like humans, dogs benefit from a healthy diet that features wholesome ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and high-quality proteins. Here are some of the best dog food ingredients to look for in meals, treats, or homemade recipes.
- Meat: Unless they have a sensitivity, most dogs aren’t picky about meat—they love it all! Choose from chicken, turkey, beef, or lamb, and incorporate organ meats like liver for added nutrition.
- Carbs: Carbohydrates provide instant energy for dogs. Skip lower-quality options like corn and soy and instead opt for carb sources from ingredients like berries, kale, squash, and pumpkin.
- Fiber: Keep your dog on track with his digestion by making sure meals offer some fiber.
- Essential fatty acids: For a healthy coat, essential fatty acids are key. Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can be sourced in meat or poultry, but you can also look out for ingredients such as fish oil and flaxseed.
