Forbidden Food: Grapes & Raisins

Standard

Uva_02_con firma

Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs.

Although it remains a mystery what is the element causing the toxicity. Studies reveal that ingestion of small amounts of these elements can be fatal for our friends. In fact, they can cause serious kidney failures.

Unfortunately dogs are greedy and if they ingest and manifest vomiting and / or diarrhea with pieces of grapes (after 24 hours), loss of appetite, abdominal pain and kidney failure, go to the doctor immediately!

Do not give them grapes and raisins, we can not take the risk of losing our faithful companion for a grape.

Keep it in the house where they cannot reach it and, if claiming a snack, give them an apple (without its poisonous seeds).

The Vegan bone is Orange: The Carrot-Bone

Standard

20131108-204120.jpg

Our furry friends need hard food to keep the teeth clean and favor, in the growth phase, the change of teeth.
An excellent bone substitute, we refer also to the vegan bones sold in pet shops or internet, is the CARROT .
It is natural, healthy, cheap, and even for them, yummy.
Cut the ends, wash it or peel it with a vegetable peeler and give it to them raw!
The first few times maybe they’ll find it hard to eat a whole. We must also take into account the size of our fluffy friend. For small size dog, half a carrot can be enough. For medium to large size dogs you can give a whole.

Like any new thing you have to get used to it.
At first they could use it as a toy too, and you will see that they will love it!

Forbidden and Toxic Food

Standard

dog-healthy-food

A little reminder about toxic and forbidden food as well with some healthy food for our dogs. Obviously do not take in consideration meat…unfortunately the reminder was not completely vegan 😉 We should be more precise about tomatoes: they are toxic to dogs only if they are not ripe. If they are ripe they are fine for them! Furthermore mushrooms are forbidden only if you don’t know if they are edible. The one you buy in the can or at the supermarket are fine from time to time.

Aubergine & Chickpeas rolls

Standard

20131108-201157.jpg

Ingredients:

  • Aubergine
  • Smashed chickpeas
  • Cucumber
  • Olive Oil

Preparation:

  • Cut the aubergine into wide thin slices and grill them on a frying pan without oil.
  • Take some canned chickpeas or previously cooked and smash them in the mixer.
  • Take the cucumber and cut it  into sticks, which will later form the heart of the treat.
  • Take a slice of grilled aubergine and spread some smashed chickpeas all over the surface. Position in the middle the stick of cucumber. Roll it up and your roll will be ready. Repeat until all the aubergine slices are over.

Tips: for ease of rolling we have removed the skin of the aubergine, but you can safely keep it. If the roll proves to be difficult to eat because it’s too long, cut it into two or three parts. It will mean that there will be more rolls for everyone, even for you humans! Slurp!
