Berries for Dogs: Why They Are a Superfood!
Did you know that not all berries are created equal when it comes to your dog's health? Darker varieties like blueberries and blackberries contain special nutritional powerhouses that make them a fantastic addition to a dog's diet, particularly for their potential cancer-fighting properties.
Antioxidant Power: The rich, dark colours of blueberries and blackberries are due to anthocyanins, potent anti-inflammatory compounds that are crucial for both cancer prevention and treatment. They are also packed with antioxidants that protect your dog's cells from damage.
Ellagic Acid: These berries contain ellagic acid, a natural compound that has shown promise in blocking cancer-related metabolic processes.
Essential Nutrients: Beyond these key benefits, incorporating these delicious berries provides essential fibre for digestive health, manganese vital for enzyme function, and Vitamins C and E, which are important for immunity and healthy skin.
By including blueberries and blackberries in your dog's diet, you're taking a simple yet powerful step. These berries help to enhance their natural defences against damaging free radicals, and by doing so, you're actively supporting their long-term health, vitality, and overall longevity.
How to Incorporate Berries into Your Dog’s Diet!
Whether you choose fresh or frozen, blueberries and blackberries are a simple and beneficial addition to your pooch's diet.
Serve in Moderation: To ensure your pup's digestive system adjusts comfortably to their natural fructose, introduce these berries slowly and in small amounts at first.
Easy to Add: You can easily mix them in with their usual food. They also make a refreshing and tasty frozen treat on a hot day!

A Little Note from Us: Before trying any new foods with your furry pal, it's always best to chat with your vet first.
