Lettuce is a low-calorie treat for dogs, but preparation matters.
Lettuce is hydrating and rich in fiber, making it a healthy snack. However, it must be served correctly to avoid potential downsides.
How to Prepare Lettuce for Dogs:
• Wash Thoroughly: Remove pesticides or bacteria.
• Choose Wisely: Opt for romaine or green leaf lettuce over iceberg, which has less nutritional value.
• Chop Small: Minimize choking risks, especially for smaller breeds.
Avoid adding dressing, spices, or oils. Keep portions small to prevent upset stomachs. With proper preparation, lettuce can be a crunchy, refreshing treat for your furry friend!
