About the Recipe
Some vegetables of course are better than others. As root vegetables are high in sugars, albeit natural, it is advisable to avoid these in the event of an itchy or yeasty dog or a dog needing to lose a little weight. These include: Carrots, Sweet Potato. Squashes / Pumpkin, Beetroot. In dogs with no itching or weight issues we recommend minimal feeding of these. Can be fed daily where you are not feeding products with plant matter in already
