Vegetables that Golden Retrievers can eat

Vegetables that Golden Retrievers can eat can be divided into three categories: edible whole plants; edible roots or tubers; and seeds. Root or tuber vegetables are best for Golden Retrievers. 1. Vegetables whose whole plant or leaves and stems are edible. Such as lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower. Although they contain high water and fiber, they are not very palatable to golden retriever dogs, so they have little edible value.
2. Roots or tubers. Such as potatoes, turnips, etc. These vegetables have poor digestibility when eaten raw. It is best to cook them to turn the starch into gelatin for easy digestion. And most dogs like to eat these vegetables. Generally speaking, it is recommended to use them in large amounts in homemade golden retriever dog food.
3. Seed vegetables. Includes peas and soybeans. Although these vegetables are easy for dogs to eat after being steamed, most of them are not used as the main ingredient in the diet.

Processing of golden retriever dog food and feed

1. Steamed food is usually made into a semi-liquid porridge paste. Wash the vegetables and roots, cut them into pieces, and add them to the feed together with cooked meat, fish, salt and bone meal. Vitamin feeds such as yeast and cod liver oil can be added to the feed. 2. Dog concentrate can also be made into steamed buns or steamed cakes. When making it, replace the rice with some white flour, mix salt and bone meal into the concentrated feed, and make soup with meat, vitamin feed, vegetables, etc., and feed it separately for better results.
Whether it is making porridge or steamed cake, it must not be mixed with raw or burnt ingredients, otherwise it will affect the palatability and digestion and absorption of the feed. Because the feed contains raw materials, it is easy to deteriorate and ferment, which can easily cause indigestion after use by dogs.
