What about some fruit that is high in antioxidants? Like
blueberries or cantaloupe? He loves cantaloupe and used
to get quite a bit of it. It's relatively low in carbs and sugar.
No it's not.
I'm thinking that I need to grind up broccoli and put
it in another favorite of his, cottage cheese.
Why?
Also, Kroger has a really good canned green bean
product called "really green" or something like that.
Even suitable for human consumption, unlike most
canned vegetables.
My dog is underweight. How do I fatten
him up without overloading his system with carbs?
Stay away from fruits and veggies and feed meat with a lot of fat on it.
And if fat is not a problem and, as some suggest,
an underweight dog may need less fiber, how about
cheese? He loves that too.
I don't see a problem with feeding cheese other than too much will
constipate. Some cheeses are carb free altogether.
