Health Benefits of Spinach for Pets
🥬 Rich in Nutrients – Spinach is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, fiber, and antioxidants that help support a strong immune system.
🥬 Good for Digestion – The fiber in spinach can aid in healthy digestion, helping to keep your pet’s tummy happy.
🥬 Supports Bone & Heart Health – With calcium and iron, spinach contributes to strong bones and a healthy heart.
How to Serve Spinach to Your Pet
✅ Fresh or Steamed – Serve small amounts of chopped fresh spinach or lightly steamed spinach for easy digestion.
✅ Mix It In – Add a few leaves to your pet’s regular meal for an extra boost of nutrition.
✅ Make Spinach Treats – Blend spinach with pet-safe ingredients like peanut butter, banana, or pumpkin for a tasty homemade snack.
🚫 Keep It in Moderation – While spinach is safe for pets, too much can lead to stomach upset due to its oxalate content. Always feed in small amounts and consult your vet if unsure!
