Sunday Randomness #432 : Changing the way we buy beans...

How we use to buy beans on the left.  How we buy beans now on the right.  The two furry fuzzy mouths that we feed like rice and oats and veggies with their kibble.  They like Purina Pro Plan Beef and Science Diet.  I found that B-B has more solid stools and fewer of them if we supplement their diet with some healthy human grade foods that are safe for dogs. https://www.richellusa.com/50-fruits-and-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/You can find a number of lists online for what dogs can and cannot eat and be aware of the salt content.  We drain and rinse the canned green beans to get rid of a little bit of the salt.   Not a lot of any one thing and we switch out the veggies.  B really likes raw full size carrots but B-B prefers his carrots cooked.  Neither of them like the "baby carrots" so I usually buy the big bag of full size carrots from Costco.  They both like melon including watermelon but B-B definitely prefers the sweeter things like apple and banana.  B would rather play than get food for a treat.  She's hard to bribe with food-she's not even a big fan of peanut butter!  We have to hide her medicine in vanilla ice cream.  She effectively spits out the pill in anything else-including things like hot dogs or the aforementioned peanut butter.  It's just more economical to buy the large items when we can feed the product to both the humans and the dogs.
