For those of you looking to improve your pup's overall health and wellness in one simple snack, broccoli is a great option! |

What are the nutrients in Broccoli that make it so healthy? |
|
|
|
There are many reasons broccoli makes ideal snack or addition to a meal for your pup, including but not limited to:
+ Full of fiber - fiber is a prebiotic which feeds your dog's good gut bugs!
+ High in vitamin K and potassium
+ High in protein and low in fat
+ High in iron, which is great for senior dogs as the iron is plant-based (non-heme) and easier to assimilate, which helps with oxygen transport throughout the body |

Sulforaphane … what is it?! |
|
|
|
Broccoli is also full of a compound known as sulforaphane which is one of the most studied compounds in the plant. It is also present in other cruciferous veggies such as cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and there are especially high levels in broccoli sprouts.
Long term supplementation of sulforaphane in the diet of your pup can assist with DNA repair, even improving aging, reducing inflammation in the body and boosts glutathione production. |

How to include it in your pup's Diet? |
|
|
|
For pickier pups, you can use a food processor to grind it up into smaller pieces and sprinkle on their food. If your pup loves veggies you can give them an entire stalk and crown of broccoli as a chew toy.
Just make sure you supervise them to make sure they are chewing and not scarfing it down in one piece! |
