1. Veggies and Fruits
Like people, dogs need a varied diet of fruits and vegetables to stay healthy. Whether it’s homemade food you prepare yourself or premium packaged or raw frozen diets that you feed him from, veggies provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
Pet parents typically love giving their dogs fresh foods from farmers markets, but the challenge of sourcing ingredients and creating nutritious meals can be daunting. Companies such as The Farmer’s Dog are here to make things easy by providing vet-designed recipes with fresh ingredients and human grade meat for easy cooking!
These recipes include fruits and veggies high in fiber that contain all ten essential amino acids. Vegetables particularly beneficial to dogs include carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy green cruciferous vegetables like kale, collard greens and broccoli. All these ingredients are gently cooked at temperatures high enough to kill pathogens but low enough to preserve nutrients and flavor while killing any pathogens present in their ingredients.
2. Treats
Many pet parents attend farmers’ markets for various reasons. Some wish to support local businesses while others enjoy exploring freshest produce available – some even enjoy taking tacky eggplant selfies at these markets!
Most people aren’t aware that their pets can also benefit from enjoying fruits and vegetables on display! Incorporating some tasty yet nutritional snacks into their daily diet could significantly enhance their health and well-being.
As many pet parents don’t have time to cook fresh meals for their pups, luckily there are companies that provide high-quality, human-grade dog food delivered straight to your door! For instance, The Farmer’s Dog offers four recipes that comply with AAFCO standards and use only quality natural ingredients free from artificial colors and flavors – Omega 3 fatty acids to promote skin and coat health, prebiotic inulin for digestive support, and calcium to build strong bones are among these offerings.
3. Snacks
Bring along some healthy treats for both of you to enjoy! Dogs love the scent of food and will likely sit quietly and snack while you shop around the market vendors.
Green beans are an energizing springtime treat packed with fiber, protein and essential vitamins and minerals like A, C and K as well as calcium potassium and phosphorus. Give your pup some raw or steamed green beans as snacks or sprinkle cooked green beans over their daily food dish for maximum nutritional benefits!
Carrots are another favorite vegetable among dog-owners, and can be found from spring through fall. Carrots provide fiber, vitamins A and K as well as essential minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron phosphorus and zinc – not forgetting beta-carotene which strengthens their immune systems!
4. Wet Food
Wet food is often easier for dogs with dental disease or other oral issues to chew, which can significantly improve their quality of life. Furthermore, its higher moisture content means your pup can stay properly hydrated – this may especially benefit those suffering from medical conditions like urinary or kidney disease.
Wet food is produced by mixing protein sources with gravy and cooking and sterilizing it before canning it. Most wet foods meet AAFCO standards for adult maintenance nutrition, and often provide more vitamins and minerals than conventional kibble.
Open Farm offers a selection of wet foods, such as their Grass-Fed Beef Rustic Stew with 100 percent grass-fed beef combined with non-GMO carrots, pumpkin, spinach and green beans. In addition, they make Wild-Caught Salmon Rustic Stew which contains omega-3 rich wild caught ocean salmon for an unforgettable gourmet dining experience!
