- Bananas: Another sweet yet nutritious treat that will not only satisfy your pet's cravings but also lift their mood. Rich in minerals, fiber, and vitamins, bananas are a pretty safe bet if you want a natural yet healthy snack for your furball.
- Cucumber: Like carrots, cucumbers can also be a wholesome treat. They are a healthy and refreshing snack due to their low calories and high water content. Additionally, cucumbers aid digestion thanks to their high vitamin C and vitamin K content. Make sure to peel cucumbers and remove the seeds before feeding them to your pet to prevent any gastrointestinal distress.
