Whether you’ve got a new pup, a pooch prone to allergies or a senior in her golden years, these 7 fresh dog friendly foods will keep your best friend healthy on the inside and out.

BLUEBERRIES

Filled with antioxidants known to boost cognitive function in dogs, blueberries are a scrumptious addition to your pup’s diet.

A great alternative to bite sized processed treats, they can be served on their own, blended with yogurt to make doggie pupsicles, or added to biscuit mixes to make a healthy snack.

COCONUT OIL

The ‘good fats’ in coconut mimic the properties of antioxidants and boost vitamin E, promoting tissue health and shiny coats in dogs.

Coconut Oil is a great substitute when cooking at home for dogs. It can be used as a butter/fat substitute when making treats, or as a healthy oil when baking.

QUINOA

Packed with protein, studies have reported quinoa is also associated with preventing heart disease and cancer.

Because it is nutritionally denser than most processed carbohydrates, it makes an excellent rice and grain substitute – brilliant for dogs with allergies. By adding cooked quinoa to a selection of fresh meats and vegetables you have a 100% balanced meal for your pup. Source http://prettyfluffy.com/home-living/health-wellbeing/7-superfoods-for-dogs
