While dogs are primarily carnivorous animals, they can benefit from incorporating fruits and vegetables into their diets. Here’s why:
Nutritional benefits
Fruits and vegetables provide dogs with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They contain various nutrients that support overall health, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants. Including a variety of fruits and vegetables in a dog’s diet can help ensure they receive a well-rounded nutritional profile. We’ve chosen the best of the best when it comes to our recipes, focussing on a variety of fruit and vegetables to give your dog the best every day nutrition.
Fibre and digestion
Fibre from fruits and vegetables can aid in digestion and help regulate bowel movements. It can promote healthy gut function, prevent constipation, and support a balanced microbiome in the digestive system.
Weight management
Fruits and vegetables are generally low in calories and can be used as healthy, low-calorie treats or additions to meals. They can help dogs feel full without consuming excessive calories, which can be beneficial for weight management and obesity prevention.
Remember that while fruits and vegetables can be a healthy addition to a dog’s diet, they should not replace the primary source of nutrition, which is typically a balanced and complete dog food. COYA’s range of main meals and treats have been specially formulated to include five selected fruit and vegetables per meal alongside a single protein. For our treats, we’ve included one single protein plus one superfood fruit / vegetable. This means that feeding COYA gives your dog the best all-round balanced nutrition without any hassle for you.
