Green Bean Diet Dog Food - What Are The Benefits?

[Tamara Hamilton]

Don't get the wrong idea, this isn't about feeding your dog green
beans and nothing else. What you're doing here is making green bean
diet dog food by mixing in some green beans with your dog's regular
food.
What's the benefit? It helps keep your dog full between meals. If your
dog is like mine, she seems to be hungry and looking for anything she
can in between meals. But if she has some green beans mixed in with
her food, she stays full and doesn't feel deprived. She is satisfied
until the next meal time.
This trick isn't something you have to do for all dogs. But this is
really nice for these dogs that could eat more than they should at one
meal. If you decide to try this, remember that only a small amount of
green beans per meal will do. You don't have to go filling your pantry
with tons of cans. Store the leftover green beans in the can in the
fridge, until the next day.
You'll be able to keep track of how much your dog is eating by
measuring it. Be consistent: Give her the same amount every day once
she's accustomed to it. In the beginning, though, start small. Add a
little bit, then ramp up the amount each day.
If you find them on sale, then go ahead and stock up. But do keep in
mind that unless you have a giant of a dog who devours a heaping
amount of dog feed in one meal, you won't be going through them too
fast.
How many green beans do you feed her? You need to take into account
how big she is and how much she usually eats. By the way, do your best
to get green beans without added salt; this is very important.
The biggest advantage to this diet dog food plan is that it will help
your dog get back to her healthy weight which will give her better
health and more energy.
