    5 Reasons Dogs Should Eat Papaya



    Yes, The Wong Dogs took a break because their dear daddy needed to work long hours. However, no worries! It is the Christmas season and I am back with a truckload of blog posts so do keep a look out on some festive ideas you don’t want your pet to miss out!


    But as it is a lazy day, I decided the boys can do with some fruity treats and got down to slice some papaya cubes for them. We all know they can consume this nutritious fruit that is low in calories and high in vitamins. But what does all that mean? Here are five loaded reasons why your canine should be considering papaya as one of their treats.



    1.SUPER SOURCE OF FIBRE, VITAMINS, FOLATE AND POTASSIUM
    Besides not needing to worry about constipation problems, your canine will get vitamin A, C, E along with carotenoids folate and potassium! Also, Papaya is known to be beneficial in aiding against indigestion, especially if someone has been having too many huge meals recently! Just remember that excess can lead to watery stools!



    2.PREVENTING HEART PROBLEMS AND OBESITY
    It is definitely not a cure. But due to Papaya thickening the artery walls, it can aid good heart health. Also, it has been proven to strengthen their immune system. Preliminary studies have also shown that certain allergies (and even Colon and Prostate Cancer) can be treated or prevented while muscle injuries (age-related degeneration) have shown improvement due to the consumption of Papapya. Due to the fruit being relatively low in calories, it can help with managing our pet’s weight. After all, what is better than giving our furkids a guilt-free treat, right?


    3.A PARASITE REMEDY!
    If you have seen videos of worms from a dog’s gut, you would totally get what I mean! However, Papaya has been known to irritate and destroy worms within the Gastrointestinal Tract!


    4.ICY TREATS
    There are many ways to give it to your pet. But I love freezing them overnight and giving it to Cory and Cole. I realise they tend to relish this version the best. Also, all the nutrients are still intact unlike Papaya soup where some nutrients could have been destroyed in the boiling process.






    5.IN DAILY DIETS!
    If you look closely at the ingredient list on the packaging, some kibble brands such as Timberwolf Organics (which Cory and Cole are currently on), Holistic Select and Canine Caviar are just some of the brands that contain Papaine, an naturally occurring extract derived from Papaya.


    I am sure there are many more reasons why this super fruit should be given to our precious dogs. Now, start dishing out those treats! Fido is waiting... In our case, Cory and Cole are waiting... Impatiently!
