Broccoli's your answer!
Why does broccoli help fight cancer in dogs?
With its impressive array of vitamins and minerals, broccoli earns its superfood status in a pooch's diet. It's a fantastic source of calcium, potassium, vitamins A & D, antioxidants with anti-cancer properties and other health benefits, biochemical nutrients and glucosinolates, which break down into anticancer compounds. These compounds inactivate carcinogens, protect cells from DNA damage, trigger tumour cell death, and block tumour blood vessel formation.
Looking to boost your dog's nutrition?
This favoured superfood is loaded with beneficial nutrients and offers concentrated levels of essential vitamins and minerals. Here's a peek at the goodness broccoli provides: Calcium, Potassium, Proteins, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Antioxidants, Glucosinolates, and Biochemical nutrients.
Easy Ways to Add Broccoli to Your Doggy's Diet!
To avoid gas, give your furry friend only the broccoli stems instead of the florets. They love them! Broccoli and other cruciferous veggies like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale are superfoods for pooches. Lightly steaming these vegetables releases cancer-fighting enzymes and makes them easier to digest.
