Quick & Easy Doggie Dinner – Soopa Pets When I’m in a hurry, this recipe is great because it’s simple to make and it’s a completely balanced meal. You can cook this or if you feed raw then simply leave in the fridge to set. Cut into portions and freeze or chill for up to 3 days. Grab a portion from the freezer if you’re in a hurry and need a dog meal on the go. I’ve included sardines as they are a great source of natural calcium and rich in omega 3, DHA and EPA which health support brain health. Oats are a tasty source of fibre and great for your dog’s digestion. I buy the gluten free oat variety which are gentler on doggie’s tummy. I’ve used grated butternut squash as it’s Lily’s favourite but feel free to add your dog’s preferred grated vegetables. I love the benefits of natural kelp powder but you can add whatever supplements you like to the mix before cooking. Ingredients: 500g turkey mince 1 cup gluten free oats 1 organic egg 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil 1 cup grated b...

How To Cure Kidney Disease on Dogs Naturally – Soopa Pets Just like in human kidneys, on your   dog, kidneys balance certain substances in the blood and filter out the body's wastes as urine. They maintain normal concentrations of salt and water in the body. Kidneys also help control blood pressure, aid in   calcium   metabolism and sustain phosphorous levels.   When kidneys don't function properly, toxins build up in the blood and a dog will become ill. What Causes Kidney Problems in Dogs? Acute kidney failure is an abrupt decline in function that occurs over a period of days.   Dogs   can develop acute kidney problems as a result of ingesting toxins, certain medications, tainted foods, etc. Other reasons for this type of kidney failure include decreased blood flow or oxygen delivery to the kidneys, infections and urinary obstruction among other causes. Now, Did you know coconut is good for weight loss and a great detox aid for your dog? Coconu...
