4. Mushrooms.
Button mushrooms can stimulate the immune system and help with allergies. While some mushrooms are great, others are toxic. Talk with your vet before adding mushrooms to your dog’s diet to determine what kind and how much you can feed your dog.
5. Pumpkin.
The high fiber content in pumpkin helps regulate bowels whether your dog is suffering from constipation or diarrhea. Most dogs love the taste of canned, pureed pumpkin! Replace a quarter of your dog’s meal with the same amount of canned pumpkin until his system has regulated itself.
6. Sweet Potato.
Cooked mashed or pureed, sweet potato is a healthy and tasty treat that fills a dog’s tummy and boosts his system with vitamins, minerals and fiber. A dog could choke on a whole potato, but you can cut it into wedges to prevent that. Replace up to a quarter of your dog’s regular food with mashed sweet potatoes to change up her routine while boosting her health at the same time!
7. Asparagus.
Add one to two ounces of lightly steamed asparagus tips (cut into small pieces to prevent choking) to add variety, flavor, vitamins, and minerals to a dog’s meal. Sometimes a new flavor or texture is all it takes to renew interest in his usual food.
