Pets

　　Nowadays pets emphasize balanced nutrition. Dogs are naturally carnivores, so do dogs need to eat vegetables? How should they eat them?

　　For dogs eating commercial dog food as staple food, it is not necessarily required to feed vegetables for additional nutrients because dog food already has a balanced nutrient composition, not necessarily like humans who need a variety of foods to maintain nutritional balance. Of course, some dogs that eat dog food like eating vegetables; some like the texture of a certain vegetable, some like the taste of a certain vegetable, and some just eat them for fun.

　　Families who cook homemade meals for their dogs should consider adding some vegetables. Also, dogs on raw food diets need to eat vegetables to supplement nutrition. Although dogs have the function to synthesize vitamin C from components in meat, not all vitamins and minerals can be derived from meat. So if you prepare your dog's meals yourself, to ensure balanced nutrition, it really takes quite some effort.

　　Most vegetables can be eaten by dogs in small amounts. Common vegetables like Chinese cabbage, cucumber, carrot, broccoli, pumpkin, sweet potato, and zucchini are probably ones your dogs have tried.
