Vegetable patches all over the country are producing wonderfully tasty food this summer. We at Best Bully Sticks could not be more excited about the array of vegetables and herbs this time of year! Tomatoes, squash, zucchini and cucumber are just some of the wholesome food that you can grow in your own back yard, or find fresh in farmer’s markets! If you enjoy these summer eats, then include your dog, too!

Remember, your dog’s ancestors were wild animals who scavenged and ate fruits and vegetables readily. Sharing vegetables with your dog is a great way to add healthy, nutritious vitamins and minerals to his diet. Read more to find out which vegetables you can share with your dog.

Pumpkin
Not just for Halloween and Thanksgiving anymore, pumpkin is a great source of vitamins and minerals for your dog. Beta-carotene, which is a great source of Vitamin A, and fiber are two of the biggest benefits pumpkin provides your pup. Just like humans, dogs need a healthy amount of fiber in their diet to keep their digestive system “regular.” Boiling fresh pumpkin and adding to your dog’s food is a great way to bring this vegetable into your dog’s diet.

Sweet Potato
These orange root vegetables are another great source of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and dietary fiber. Sweet Potatoes are also full of Vitamin C, K, manganese and potassium. Dogs love sweet potato and whether it’s dried into jerky or mashed into their food, your dog will be getting a tasty treat with tons of nutrients! Best Bully Sticks has a full line of Sweet Potato dog treats that your pooch will drool over!

Squash/Zucchini
Squash is similar to pumpkin in its digestive benefits, but is also great as a raw crunchy snack too. This gourd veggie is full of beta-carotene as well.

Zucchini is full of beta-carotene, calcium, potassium and folates. Give zucchini slices to your dog raw or frozen for a great green snack!

Green Beans & Peas
Frozen or thawed, dogs love green beans and peas! Your dog will benefit from the plant fiber, Vitamin C & K and manganese in green beans.  If your dog is overweight or constantly seems hungry, green beans are a great food replacement and snack. These empty calorie beans are a great all-purpose, round the clock food for your dog.

Peas are similarly nutritious for your pup and can be added straight to your dog’s food as well. Peas are a great source of B vitamin Thiamin, phosphorous and potassium.

Cucumber
Instead of sneaking a crunchy chip to your dog, sneak him a crunchy cucumber! These great dog snacks are low in calories and have lots of good calcium, potassium and beta-carotene.

Baby Carrots
Like cucumber, baby carrots are a great crunchy snack for your dog. Carrots are chock-full of beta-carotene! Raw, cooked or cut into carrot chips are great ways to give carrots to your dog. An added health benefit of feeding your dog carrots is the breath freshening property! Read more

Best Bully Sticks Launches Dr. Harveys Dog Food Companions and Pre-Mixes

We are excited to bring you a two revolutionary dog/cat food pre-mixes. These freeze dried veggies and veggie/grain mixes are a fantastic way to provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to your pooch. By adding the mixes to your pooches diet, you will give your dog the key to proper nutrition and a happier, healthier life. You can add the mix to your pooches current food or you can also add it to your pooches raw food diet (it works great with the Oma's Pride freeze-dried food).

Many of the dog foods out there are packed with preservatives and additives to make the food last a long time. In fact, no meat can stay at room temperature for more than a few hours. This is why commercial dog foods use so many preservatives to keep the meat they use from spoiling. They also use dyes and artificial flavors to enhance the way the food looks and tastes. Dr. Harvey's contains no preservatives, no coloring agents, and no artificial flavors.

Dr. Harvey has two formulas; Veg-to-Bowl which contains only veggies and Canine Health which contains 6 certified organic grains, 9 vegetables, and 13 herbs. When these meals are combined with fresh protein and oils, the result is the healthiest meal available for your pooch. Go to each individual listing to see how it works. We have started our dogs on the Veg-to-Bowl and Oma's Pride food and not only are they getting the healthiest food out there, but they go bonkers for breakfast and dinner!

To us the coolest part of Dr. Harvey's products are that they make any and every food out there BETTER, so if you are feeding raw, dry kibble, wet food, etc... you can enhance it!  Make sure to give Dr. Harveys a try we are sure that you won't be disappointed!
