Benefits of Beetroot & Turmeric for Dogs
Turmeric has become well known over the past years for its health benefits for humans but many benefits are also true for dogs. A less well-known ingredient which is packed with goodness is beetroot. In this article we are going to explore some of these benefits and explain why these vibrantly coloured, natural and tasty foods can help some of our dogs' ailments. If your dog doesn't have any known health issues then the unique, naturally sweet and earthy taste of beetroot can still be enjoyed by them.
Benefits of Beetroot for Dogs
Digestive health - As beetroot is naturally high in fibre it can be great to promote digestive health and bowel movements and can assist with any dog that may be struggling with constipation.
Rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants - Beetroot is high in vitamin C which is an antioxidant. This means it can help to reduce the risk of chronic disease in dogs. It also can help to improve the quality of a dog's coat and skin.
Detoxification - Beetroot has detoxifying properties. It can support liver function which means it can assist with removing toxins from a dog's body.
Benefits of Turmeric for Dogs
Supports joint health - This natural anti inflammatory can help to combat stiffness and can help promote joint health and mobility. Just like humans, as a dog ages, joints can become an issue and arthritis can affect them so turmeric may be able to help with this.
Immune system health - Turmeric can help to boost a dog's immune system, helping them to be more resilient to infections, allergies and other health issues.
To Summarise
Only your vet can diagnose any health issues and advise of a diet change but when feeding and treating a dog, natural, clean and chemical free is always the best way. We make our treats with no preservatives, unnatural colourings, salt or added sugars. Our beetroot and turmeric mix can be found in our handy and convenient "Walkies" which are lots and lots of small treats which you can pop in your pocket (stink free) for walks or our "Pizza Mutt" which also contains peanut butter to make them a super luxurious treat.
