Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
What Are the Benefits of Coconut Flakes?
Similar to their effects on humans, coconut flakes provide a number of health benefits for dogs:
Coconuts contain lauric acid, a fatty acid that repel fleas. It also has been shown to decrease inflammation, speed wound healing, and alleviate arthritic pain.
Coconut is loaded with antioxidants that boost the immune system and eliminate toxins from the body.
In the right amounts, coconut can actually manage your dog’s weight and have a powerful effect on his digestive system and gut health.
Coconut helps fight off viruses and treats ear yeast infections, which some dog breeds (such as Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, and Poodles) are prone to.
If your dog has itchy, dry skin or allergies, consuming coconut or applying it topically can soothe his skin and make his coat healthy and glossy.
Last but not least, coconut can keep your dog’s brain sharp as it’s proven to improve cognitive function and even ward off dementia.
Peach
Vitamin A: This fat-soluble vitamin supports your dog’s immune response, bone growth, reproductive system, and healthy vision.
Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant searches out and destroys free-radical molecules that can damage cells. It also supports the immune system by reducing inflammation, fighting some cancers, and reducing cognitive aging.
Vitamin E: This is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it binds to fats in your dog’s system. It’s beneficial for healthy skin and coat and offers benefits for dogs with dry or itchy skin and ear infections.
Magnesium: This micro-mineral supports the metabolizing of proteins and fatty acids. It also supports energy production and the role of ligament and bone maintenance.
Vitamin K: Dogs need this vitamin to aid in blood clotting and coagulation.
Calcium, and phosphorus: These are present in trace amounts in a peach. They’re beneficial in bone growth and integrity and support immune system function.
Antioxidants: These protect against free-radical cell damage, help prevent some cancers, and promote healthy aging processes.
Dietary fiber: Fiber efficiently moves food along through a dog’s digestive system and improves stool quality. It’s also believed to support sugar levels in the blood and add an extended feeling of fullness for dogs that are overweight.
Corn
It is a good source of protein, carbohydrates, linoleic acid, and antioxidants. Despite the fact that carbs get a bad rap, certain sources of carbs (like corn) also provide essential nutrients, such as protein, fat, fiber, and vitamins.
