About the Recipe
Strawberries can be a delightful treat for dogs, offering several health benefits. They are a good source of fibre, which aids in digestion, and contain nutrients such as Vitamin C, potassium, manganese, and folate. These nutrients support various body functions, including heart and kidney function, metabolic processes, and the production of red blood cells. Additionally, strawberries are rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which can help reduce inflammation, slow down aging by controlling free radicals, and improve the immune system. However, due to their sugar content, it's best to give strawberries to dogs in moderation as an occasional treat.
Mint meanwhile is a natural breath freshener. Mint has a cooling effect on the tongue, and is great at cancelling out harsh flavours and smells. We all know dog breath isn’t the freshest at the best of times - a mint leaf or two could help with that.
Good for digestion. Mint is widely used for aiding digestion, which is why a lot of people drink mint tea after eating.
Anti-inflammatory properties in mint means it has some uses in fighting off inflammation in the body.
It’s full of antioxidants, meaning it helps fight off free radicals that cause illness or infections. Feed 1-2 times a week
