Mango Lassi for Dogs: Nutritional Benefits
- Ripe mango: Mangoes contain vitamins A, B6, C, and E, which are good for immunity, metabolism and vision. They are a good source of fibre, too. Mangoes should be fed to your dog sparingly because of their high sugar content.
- Curd: It is an excellent source of probiotics. It is also rich in calcium and phosphorus, which are beneficial for bone health.
- Chia seeds: They are an excellent source of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Chia seeds should be soaked in water to enable better digestibility.
- Mint leaves: Aids in digestion and freshens your dog’s breath.
- Honey: A little honey can improve immunity and support digestion. Please note that honey should not be fed to puppies below one year of age or adult dogs with compromised immunity. If in doubt, leave it out.
