Not all cereals are equally healthy, and this axiom applies not only to people, but also to dogs.
Let's figure out which cereals will benefit your pet and which ones are best avoided.
What kind of porridge can be given?
Dogs can be given buckwheat. This cereal is a dietary product not only for humans, but also for dogs, as it contains many useful vitamins and microelements.
You can also give rice, as it is an excellent source of energy. However, keep in mind that this porridge is contraindicated in case of metabolic disorders.
Oatmeal is useful for eating and intestinal disorders. However, it is important to consider that it should not be given daily: in this case, the porridge can provoke eating disorders.
Porridges that are strictly prohibited
Experts do not recommend giving dogs the following cereals:
- millet, which can provoke allergic reactions even in small quantities;
- semolina, which is contraindicated for those with problems with excess weight;
- pearl barley, which can cause constipation.
It was previously reported whether it is possible to give stale bread to dogs.
