Have y'all ever eatin' somethin' so bad you can't believe ya ate it? Well, some dog owners out there think that it don't matter what they feed their pups. Too bad, they're wrong! Dogs care about what they eat as much as you humanz do! I wanted to talk to ya about the different real foods and nutritious dog food that dogs like, so maybe these dog owners will take the hint WOOF!
Here are a few tips on Nutritious Dog Food and veggies we like:
Veggies & Fruits
It's no lie when dogs tell you that they love veggies! I love me some vegetables and fruit!
I've even been know to stealz em from the garden, much to my Lady's dislike!
Some veggies are favorites for us dogs. Green beans, sweet taters, and carrots are just a few veggies I love and I know many of my other doggie friends love too.
Us dogs especially love dog food that has real veggies in it. You can leave out all that fake stuff!
Y'all don't like fake stuff and we don't neither! Then, there are even some fruits that are ideal for my doggie palette.
Just the other day I had me some apple slices my Lady gave me WOOF!
I Can Dig Real Meat! What dog don't?
If there's one thing a down to earth pup likes for food it's real meat!
There's also nothin worse than eatin' dog food with fake meat in it.
I'll go to the ends of the earth to eat anything that has real meat in it. So the next time you're pickin' me out dog food, look on the label to make sure it has real meat in it.
There are a lot of reasons we like real meat over fake processed meat.
Not only does real meat taste right lip smackin' good, real meat helps us stay strong and active.
Avoid fillers!!!
Ya need to be sure and check them ingredient labels!
Some manufacturers put a bunch of cheap fillers in their food! My Lady calls it sawdust. Say what?! Yuck!
Ya swallow that stuff and it swells up in ya belly makin' ya think you're full, but it's not givin' ya all the nutrients ya need to stay healthy.
If ya ever saw a piece of it dropped in water ya would know what I mean! It will swell up in the water and be all yucky!
Oh, and not to be gross, but when it comes out the other end, it's not any better. It makes us have large fatty and stinky stools!
Boy, I'm sure glad my Lady is picky about our dog food!
If me, and your pooch, are gonna be strong and healthy for many years to come, we don't need no cheap fillers in our food.
We need REAL ingredients!
Natural is Best
Even though a manufacturer puts veggies and meat in a dog food that don't mean it's real.
Make sure you're payin' attention to what's real and what's not in the next bag of dog food you purchase for your dog.
I'm speakin' for all us dogs when I say - if we walk up to it, sniff it, and walk away from it - it's probably not real food.
We love some sweet taters, green beans or peanut butter mixed with our food every now again.
It gives us a different flavor and some added texture that makes our dinners a bit more interestin'!
Ya can check out how to do this where I told ya about how to tingle our taste buds here!
It don't take a lot of extra work, but it makes our meals a lot tastier!
Natural and Organic
My Lady is all about eatin' natural and organic and she follows that rule for us too.
I ain't got no complaints on my grub! Plus, we are all healthy, active and happy!
I don't mean to cause such a strict diet for dogs everywhere, but us dogs are a countin' on you to feed us right.
After all, we are your 4 legged kids, so I'm hopin' you would want to feed us good 🙂
Like my Lady says, she would rather pay a little more for good nutritious dog food to keep us healthy and happy rather than have us gettin' sick and feelin' poorly!
I say bring on the meat and taters WOOF!
Julie Wood says
It is so true about what we feed out dogs. They need a healthy diet just like we do! And these are some very good dog treats to give a dog. My dog loves veges! Making sure to give my dog the best food will help him live a long life.

We feed our two dogs natural foods and even cook for them ourselves. We have a list from the Vet of what to never give them and that is important to be aware of! 🙂
WendysHat says
I'm not an animal person but I would imagine that real food is much better than processed anyways.
Linda Meyers-Gabbard says
This is one of the most important things we do for our two girls Sugar and Cinnamon. We make sure that they are eating a food that is balanced.
Christina A. says
This is a topic that I'm really passionate about! Feed your animal healthily just as your would yourself or your children! Some of the options out there are so full of fillers that can cause serious health issues to your pet! Thanks for spreading the word! 🙂

Our fur baby has major food an environmental allergies. We only buy California Naturals herring and sweet potato...it's literally the only thing she can eat!
Karen Beckett says
We have to take care of our "fur" babies & make sure they get the best food possible!
Cheryl Rogers says
Our dogs love to eat carrots as a snack! I give them a few a day. It is so important to give them healthy nutritious food! SHopping for petfood is so much more time consuming nowadays then in previous years.
Carissa Pelletier says
I really didn't know it's okay to feed your dog veggies! It seems so natural, but I've never tried it. Great tips!
Sandra Watts says
These are great tips. My dog loved fruit and vegetables. I'm not sure how normal that is for pets but he didn't seem to mind so why not.
Katie says
Great information! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Jen says
I agree wholeheartedly! Dog food is no place to skimp. I want my fur babies to live as long and healthy a life as possible and good health starts on the inside.
Kelly says
Ugh... This is such an issue for me. My dog has only eaten organic dog food (really good stuff) for his whole life. Until, he got a urinary issue. He then got switched to a prescription urinary food. He LOVES it. He LOVES it TOO much! He eats more than he should, well until the bowl is empty and licked clean. He used to eat when he was hungry and then would stop when full. He has gained some weight too. I hate it. I know the organic was better for him, but I cannot imagine him getting another urinary issue. It was quite painful. ugh... no simple answers I guess.
Gale McCarron says
I just found out recently how much my dog loves fruit ... Even watermelon. I figured how bad could it possibly be to give it to him. I'm more comfortable giving him fruit then some of those snacks they market for dogs.
Gabby W. says
Thanks for all the great info!!! I am always looking for something better for my two little ones!!! They are part of my family and I only want the best for them! 🙂
