Great nutritional tips for your big ear'd friend

Here are some great nutritional tips for your frenchie

Fish
Fish is a fantastic source of occuring omega 3 and levels of EPA and DHA. Because of the small parasites or samonella it is best to cook the fish before feeding it to your frenchie. Or buy tinned salmon, tuna , mackrel etc.

Eggs
Eggs really are one of the best sources of nutrition for your frenchie as they are high in omega 3, fatty acids and contain needed vitamins in a natural form. Abour 100% of the nutrition in eggs is used by your frenchies body unlike processed supplements and dog foods.

Cod liver oil
Personally i think cod liver oil is fantastic. I give it to my 2 frenchies twice a week. It has extremley high levels of Vit A and Vit D. Cod liver oil has been clinically proven to have many positive affects on your frenchies heart, bones as well as nourishing their teeth, skin, coat and ears!
It also makes your frenchies coat look nice and shiny and healthy. As your french  bulldog gets older it can ease pain and joint stiffness related to arthritic conditions. Giving them cod liver oil is pretty easy. I pop it in their food! Its also very cheap to buy.

Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a miracle food for most frenchies. Good for both diarrhea and constipation. Canned pumpkin (not raw, not the sugary, spicey pie filling) is loaded with fibre and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Dont give your frenchie alot of it! Too much vit A isnt good. But a couple of tea spoons a day for a little frenchie or a couple of table spoons for a bigger frenchie is enough to keep them on track.

Raw food
As you will probably already know due to previous posts, i completely back the raw diet! It has So many positive affects on your frenchie.
It is a great source of protein. Also raw bones is good for their teeth so no teeth cleaning needed. It also keeps your frenchie in great shape with a lovely shiny coat. Although, with undue care you can cause problems, make sure raw food is defrosted in the fridge. Letting raw food come to room tempreture for a period of time can create a growing ground for bateria. Also thoroughly wash your hands before and after handling and sanitise any surfaces they have come in contact with to prevent cross contamination.

Apples
Now, if you can get your frenchie to eat apples here is whats good about them! These healthy little snacks are a nutritional powerhouse!
Containing; fibre, vitamins A & C, omega-3 & -6, antioxidants, flavonoids & polyphenols. So these work absolute wonders for your frenchie! Remember leave the seeds out!
