Food as medicine for dogs WORDS Dr Elaine Cebuliak

T

he Chinese proverb, “you become what you eat” is also true when it comes to feeding our animal friends. Pet foods that are full of harmful pesticides, preservatives, food colouring, and chemicals, have been associated with disease. If you want your fluffy friend to have a shiny healthier coat, with sweeter breath and stools, then make them a wholesome diet. If your pet has particular problems, then there are nutritional treatment guides that you can follow. Below are some suggested recipes. Wherever possible buy organic foods. For overweight dogs substitute brown rice for potatoes and for white rice. Old Dog Bones diet – Arthritis
