Cashew nuts: healthy snack for dogs

Cashew nuts are also very healthy for the dog - the nuts not only provide us humans with many important nutrients.

• Cashew nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, fat, phosphorus and fiber.
• The phosphorus in the cashew nuts is healthy for teeth and bones, but too much phosphorus in the dog food damages the dog's kidneys.
• Therefore feed the cashew nuts in small portions and not too often.
• Only give your dog natural cashew nuts. Salted or sweetened, as in human snacks, harms the dog.
• In addition to cashew nuts, your dog can also eat hazelnuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, pecans and almonds.
• After eating the nuts for the first time, pay attention to how your dog is doing. It may be that your four-legged friend does not get the nuts and a rash develops or that your dog suddenly suffers from various other complaints.
• In this case, you should of course refrain from feeding cashew nuts. A visit to the veterinarian can also provide information about whether your dog may have an allergy to the nuts.
