From coconut oil to chicken: supermarket foods that your dog can eat and you didn't know

Veterinarian and content creator on TikTok @maríavetican has published a video dedicated to all pet owners in the world: “These are some of the real, natural and fresh foods that dogs can eat,” says the influencer.

As María points out, it is totally possible to incorporate certain foods into our pets’ daily diet, or in the form of healthy snacks on an ad hoc basis. We tell you more below.

First of all, the veterinarian makes it clear that both dogs and cats are carnivorous animals, so they can feed on meat and offal without problems. Of course, raw meat or meaty bones must be frozen beforehand.

One of the most beneficial foods for our pets is coconut oil. The tiktoker makes it clear that it is an antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food: “It improves skin health, dental health and can also be used to hydrate pads and nose,” says María.

Another highly recommended option for the little ones in the home is fermented dairy products: “Excellent probiotics to improve intestinal health and digestion,” says María, emphasizing that it should be natural yogurt or kefir.

Finally, the veterinarian recommends introducing red fruits into our pets’ diet, since they are antioxidants, especially blueberries, which help with the urinary health of our dogs and cats.
