Pup-Eye’s Spinach Cookies

Spinach is an incredibly nutrient-rich vegetable. Dense in iron and magnesium, as well as essential vitamins A, C and E, Popeye would the first to vouch for this leafy green wholeheartedly.

It is thought that by serving your pup a little bit of spinach on occasion, that you can help fend off cancer, inflammatory and cardiovascular issues. There is also the potential to raise energy levels and immunity.

Note: Even with a healthy option – too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Dogs are naturally carnivorous, and 75-85% of their diet should be meat-based. Feeding too much spinach can lead to nutrient deficiencies – specifically amino acids as it is low in protein.

You want to make sure your pup’s diet is well-balanced. Our 100% grass-fed dehydrated beef entree is an example of how to balance feeding your dog spinach alongside a source of protein.

Spinach contains large amounts of vitamins A, B, C, and K. It also contains iron, antioxidants, beta-carotene, and roughage, which stimulate the digestive tract. Your dog food should be contain all the nutrients your pup needs, but small amounts of spinach can provide some benefits.
