Let me see which little cutie is surfing the internet!

Dogs can eat cowpea, but not too much, just two or three times a week. Cowpea is rich in protein, vitamins and other substances, which can supplement the daily nutrients needed by dogs. If you eat too much, it may cause the dog's stomach to be unable to digest, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, and even dehydration and death in severe cases. In addition to cowpea, the owner can also feed the dog pumpkin, cauliflower, radish and other vegetables.

Cowpea must be cooked thoroughly before feeding to dogs, otherwise it is easy to cause poisoning or diarrhea in dogs, and in severe cases, it may develop into dehydration. But it should be noted that it is best not to add seasoning when cooking cowpea. Excessive salt content may increase the burden on the dog's kidneys. In fact, cowpea has many benefits. It is rich in carotene, vitamins and plant fiber. Therefore, while meeting the nutritional needs of dogs, it can also enhance the gastrointestinal motility of dogs. It is more suitable as a vegetable in dog food, but Raw cowpea is poisonous, so it is better to cook it as long as possible when cooking.

hint:

Cowpea contains a lot of plant protein, but it can only be used as a supplementary food. It is best to use dog food as the main food and mix it with high-protein and low-fat meat to ensure a balanced nutrition for dogs. The nutritional content of dog food is comprehensive, and the materials used in making it are also in line with the health of dogs.
