PETS
RAINBOWS FOR YOUR PUPS! By Roz Lishak
With many human and hound crossover foods constantly making their way to the dog bowl, I thought it would be a good idea to list a colourful collection of food notes with positive benefits plus a few ‘beware’ moments to ensure safe servings for your dog. Red - Tomato Although ripe tomatoes are considered non-toxic to dogs and can be an occasional snack, only one large or equally two small ripe red tomatoes per week is considered enough for their digestion pattern. Note for gardeners: as the tomato plant itself is a member of the nightshade family, that is to be avoided. 62
Yellow - Lemon Ingredient warning as citric acid can be harmful to dogs. With lemon being such a staple and simple ingredient within most cuisines and in so many dishes, it’s so easy to forget that it’s even there, so treat it with a ‘hidden’ ingredient mentality and remember that a squeeze or two may naturally make their way into any savoury recipe! Although a single lick of a lemon lolly probably won’t turn your dog’s stomach, certainly too much of it can make your pup feel very sick. Pink - Pomegranate Simple answer is yes to juice, but a big, big no to feeding raw pomegranate fruit with their tannin filled seeds and unsavoury skin.
