Prevent Heart Disease in Dogs
Add Bran to Dog Treat Recipes
You can help prevent heart disease in dogs by simply adding bran to the dog treat ingredients in your homemade dog treat recipes. Canine heart disease and diabetes in dogs are just two of the diseases helped by bran. It doesn’t matter whether you use wheat, oat, soy or rice bran—they’re all good for your pet and they are healthy ingredients that help to prevent dog heart disease.
How Does Bran Help Your Dog?
The brans are noteworthy because they contain both soluble and insoluble fibers. For this reason, they are commonly found in dog food ingredients for commercial dog foods. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your pet’s stool and speeds up the digestive process through the colon, possibly helping to prevent colon cancer. Soluble fiber is noted for its ability to lower cholesterol. Soy bran, in particular, may improve glucose tolerance for pets with diabetes. As you may know, diabetes is linked to canine heart disease.
