Us humans are obsessed with the latest superfoods \u2014 but what are the vitamin and mineral equivalents of turmeric for dogs? Because we for sure want to be feeding them to our pups.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFunctional superfoods [have] the most beneficial effects on health,\u201d says Dr. W. Jean Dodds, DVM. \u201cThey reduce chronic inflammation and promote healing; are powerfully antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-tumor; and are even believed to delay aging.\u201d Serving your dog the vitamins and minerals in these essential canine functional superfoods will help your dog fight disease, boost energy and maintain good health and weight in general.<\/p>\n
So, what vitamins do dogs need everyday and what foods do they come from? For some pet parents, feeding dogs commercial food makes the most sense; it is not only convenient, but \u2014 if <\/i>they select high-quality food made by companies with proven records of ingredient integrity \u2014 it provides their dogs with a generally wholesome diet. However, there are a lot of factors in commercial pet food to consider, and it might not provide your dog vitamins and minerals<\/a> for a \u201ccomplete and balanced\u201d diet.<\/p>\n To ensure that your pup is getting the vitamins and minerals they need, you can add them to your dog\u2019s diet with superfoods like these:<\/p>\n Carrots, spinach, liver, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, fish oil, eggs, turnip greens<\/p>\n Marine fish oil, fatty fish, egg yolks, dairy products, liver, beef, cottage cheese<\/p>\n Plant oils, leafy green vegetables, seeds, wheat germ, bran, whole grains, liver<\/p>\n Liver, leafy green vegetables, milk, cabbage, fish<\/p>\n Fruits, vegetables, organ meats<\/p>\n Whole grains, nutritional or brewers yeast, liver, beans, green vegetables, spirulina, nuts, dairy products<\/p>\n Milk, yogurt, tofu, sardines with bones, raw bones, bok choy, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower<\/p>\n All animal tissues, eggs, fish, milk<\/p>\n Spinach, broccoli, green beans, tofu, tomato juice, beans, whole grains, seafood<\/p>\n Fruits, vegetables, milk, grain<\/p>\n Spinach, broccoli, yogurt, beef, poultry, whole grains, vegetables<\/p>\n All protein foods (meats, fish, poultry, eggs, legumes and milk)<\/p>\n Red meats, fish, poultry, shellfish, eggs, legumes<\/p>\n Iodized salt, seafood, dairy products, kelp<\/p>\n Seafood, meat, whole grains, brown rice, vegetables<\/p>\n Seafood, nuts, whole grains, seeds, legumes<\/p>\n Nuts, whole grains, leafy vegetables<\/p>\n Lean meat, vegetable oils, brewers yeast<\/p>\n Liver, kidney, fruit, vegetables<\/p>\n Available in water<\/p>\n Legumes, cereals, organ meats<\/p>\n Cereals, vegetables, beans and peas<\/p>\n<\/div>\nVitamin A<\/b><\/h3>\n
