Unfortunately, many pet parents have witnessed our furry friends eating poop in the yard – and let’s be honest – it’s certainly not the cutest habit they have!
We all know how much our pets mean to our families and the joy that they bring, so it makes it much harder to snuggle up with your pup after you see them eating poop in the yard.
When your animal is ingesting poop, it could be due to a few things such as behavioral problems, attraction to certain tastes or smells, or trying to fulfill a deficiency in enzymes or vitamins. But not to worry, it’s more common than you think, and with For-Bid™, this disgusting habit can be easily curtailed.
Even though For-Bid™ does not alter the taste of your pet’s food, it is always a good idea to boost their nutrients and why not boost their flavors when you can? What a treat it is for them too!
Here are 5 flavor-boosting ingredients you can add to your pet’s food and improve their health while doing it.
- Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree has been a popular food additive for quite some time and for good reason! It has a high amount of vitamins and minerals and is also high in antioxidants. Pumpkin is one of the best ways to
- Fresh Fruits & Veggies: Fresh fruits and veggies are a great additive to your pet’s diet. They not only have cancer-fighting properties, but they can be a high source of vitamins, phytonutrients, minerals, and proteins. Make sure you mash up or puree the fruits or veggies to maximize the number of nutrients your pet can get!
- Raw Eggs: Allowing your pet to eat raw eggs is something we’ve been taught to fear for quite some time, but we’re here to tell you that’s just not true. In fact, when eaten with their shells, eggs are nearly a complete source of nutrition for your pet. Eggs are a great source of iron, vitamin A, fatty acids, vitamin B12, and more. Although eggs cannot be used as your dog’s main source of nutrition, it is completely safe and beneficial for your dog to consume them a couple of times a week.
- Coconut Oil: Yes, you read that correctly, coconut oil. It turns out that coconut oil is not just for humans. It’s high in nutrients and can be a great addition to your dog’s diet in safe, small amounts. It is rich in fatty acids and healthy saturated fats, and can help with bad breath, improve cognitive function and energy level, boosts their immune system, and so much more!
- Bone Broth: With the possibility that your pet is eating it’s poop due to nutrient deficiencies, bone broth is another great option when choosing what to add to their food for some flavor. Bone broth can promote a healthy gut, joint health, and most importantly hydration. It is a great additive if your pet eats dry, dehydrated, or freeze-dried diets. Just like for humans, water is essential for good health, and most dogs and cats don’t drink enough.
We know it can be a pain in the butt (pun intended) when trying to stop your pet from eating their poop. It can require investing time to change their behaviors and their diet. But with some research, dedication, and adding For-bid™ to their food once a day, for 2-3 weeks you’ll see a change in no time!
