The Most Effective Way to Feed Carrots to Dogs

July 13, 2013 by olewousa

carrots for dogs

Carrots are an excellent source of natural nutrition and offer amazing health benefits for dogs such as:

Quick cure from dog diarrhea
Healthy digestion in dogs 
Natural deworming
Healthy skin and coat
Immune system health
and more   

Many pet owners however don’t realize that dogs are NOT able to properly digest raw carrots, and therefore the valuable nutrients cannot be absorbed and utilized.  Olewo Dehydrated Carrots are easy to digest and in the proper form allowing for absorption of the beneficial nutrients in the dog’s digestive system to get the full benefits from this nutrient-rich vegetable. Dogs actually need some vegetables in their diet because they contain many important health-promoting nutrients from a natural source. Many of those nutrients are the ones that are often lacking in commercial dog foods, and natural source vitamins are much more effective than synthetic vitamins.

HOW TO PREPARE AND FEED OLEWO DEHYDRATED CARROTS:

how to feed carrots for dogs step 1DIRECTIONS: Rehydrate the recommended daily amount of Olewo Dehydrated Carrots according to bodyweight of the dog (refer to feeding chart on bag) in some warm water. The amount of water used for rehydration can be adjusted to your liking depending on the desired consistency of the final reconstituted mixture.

Oil should not be added when feeding puppy food or performance dog foods because those foods have a higher fat content which is sufficient to aid the beta-carotene to vitamin A conversion.

If the reconstituted mixture turned out firmer than desired, more water can be added at this point. 1/2 cup of water per 1 tbsp of carrot pellets was used as this seems to yield the final consistency that is preferred by most of our customers.
