Foods that you can safely share with your dog:

1. Pumpkin. Fresh pumpkin, whether steamed or cooked (or canned 100% pumpkin), is relatively low in calories and high in soluble fiber, which is good for dogs with gastrointestinal upset.

2. Blueberry. Blueberries are available year-round and make a great snack for dogs while training. Blueberries are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, and are also an excellent source of fiber, manganese, and vitamins C and E. A dog weighing 10 pounds should eat 2-4 blueberries as a snack every day. Replacing one of the day's snacks with fresh or frozen blueberries is a great way to increase the antioxidants in your dog's food.

3. Kale. Kale is a dark green cruciferous vegetable that is rich in vitamins (especially vitamins K, A, and C), iron, and antioxidants. It helps detoxify the liver and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Depending on your dog's weight, add 1-3 tablespoons of chopped or pureed kale to your dog's food daily as a great source of fiber and dietary antioxidants.

4. Fermented milk. Fermented milk drink containing beneficial probiotics to support the immune system. While regular pasteurized milk can be irritating to your dog's gastrointestinal tract, fermented milk is different. One of the best and most cost-effective ways to add healthy bacteria to your pet's diet is to make yogurt from your own milk.

5. Mushrooms. Beneficial mushroom species include: shiitake mushrooms, reishi mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, lion's mane, king trumpet, versicolor versicolor, and brasiliensis mushrooms, which are safe for people and pets.

6. Cauliflower. Cauliflower is good for detoxifying your dog's body. It is rich in beneficial nutrients such as potassium, calcium, protein, and vitamin C, and has anti-inflammatory effects.

7. Sardines. Sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for your dog's health. If you are using fish as a supplemental food for your pet, I recommend using fresh sardines in a bag. Sardines do not live long and have not yet stored poisons in their bodies, making them an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.

8. Sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are rich in carotene and antioxidants, and contain large amounts of vitamins A and C. Sweet potatoes, which contain purple pulp, have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce the risk of heavy metals and oxygen free radicals.
