Celery. In addition to vitamins A, B, and C, this crunchy green snack contains the nutrients needed to promote a healthy heart and even fight cancer. As if that wasn’t enough, celery is also known to freshen doggy breath.

Coconut and Coconut Oil contains Lauric, which strengthens the immune system by fighting off viruses. It can also help with bad breath and clearing up skin conditions like hot spots, flea allergies, and itchy skin. Coconut milk and coconut oil are safe for dogs too. Just be sure your dog doesn’t get its paws on the furry outside of the shell, which can get lodged in the throat.

Parsley has great nutritive and antioxidative properties.

Pineapple is a great sweet treat for dogs and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It also contains bromelain, an enzyme that makes it easier for dogs to absorb proteins.

Salmon is a good source of omega 3 fatty acids, including the skins, which are responsible for keeping your dog’s coat healthy and shiny, as well as supporting your dog’s immune system. Be sure to pick out all the tiny bones, which can be tedious but is definitely necessary. Never feed your dog uncooked or under-cooked fish, only fully cooked and cooled, and limit your dog’s fish intake to no more than twice a week

Shrimp, fully cooked and the shell (including the tail, head, and legs) is removed completely, are high in antioxidants, vitamin B-12, and phosphorus, but also low in fat, calories, and carbohydrates.

Vegan and vegetarian alternatives. Replace salmon with boiled baby carrots. Replace shrimp with chopped zucchini. Pump up the protein with more fish, like tuna or sardines.
