There's a banana on the kitchen counter. There's some yogurt left in the fridge. At the bottom of the fruit basket – an apple that's no longer the firmest. All of this looks like leftovers. Unimportant things. But to those four paws that eagerly watch your every move, it's a treasure.
Dogs don't complicate things. They don't need artificially flavored sticks in shiny packaging. They need something pure. Real. Something that makes their day more interesting while supporting their health.
Forget about classic dog treats
More and more owners are thinking differently. Why should we, for the health and joy trust your dog with products with unrecognizable ingredients, when you have better options at home?
1. Bananas for healthy digestion
Ripe bananas provide energy and support the intestines. They contain fiber, potassium, and vitamins that help balance the digestive system. Dogs usually crunch on them with pleasure - a small piece is perfectly enough.
2. Carrots for clean teeth
Raw carrots are like a natural toothbrush. Their hard texture helps clean plaque while also providing a low-calorie snack packed with beta-carotene, which promotes healthy eyes and glowing skin.
3. Apples, a vitamin-packed refreshment
Seedless apple slices are a real treat for dogs. The vitamin C, antioxidants and crunchy texture combine to provide a nice bite and support the immune system. They also work great as a quick summer snack.
4. Pumpkin, a solution for intestinal problems
Cooked pumpkin is an excellent digestive aid. Not only does it soothe an upset stomach, but it also acts as a natural stool regulator – whether it’s diarrhea or constipation. It’s bland, has a neutral flavor, and is easily tolerated by most dogs.
5. Yogurt, a probiotic ally
Plain yogurt without sugars or artificial sweeteners provides beneficial bacteria for a dog's stomach. A teaspoon a day is more than enough to strengthen the intestinal flora and improve digestion, especially after illness or treatment.
6. Blueberries, antioxidants
Blueberries aren't just for humans - dogs love them. They're naturally sweet, low in calories, and high in antioxidants. These little blue berries help protect cells, support brain function, and overall health. They're great as a treat or a meal addition.
7. Cucumbers, freshness without excess calories
Fresh cucumbers, not pickled ones, are a surprisingly good snack. They're high in water and low in calories, making them ideal for hydrating on hot days. Their crunchiness makes them satisfying to bite into, but they're also easy on the stomach.
