Anyone who has a garden at home agrees that it can be therapy. Touch the earth, enjoying contact with nature in a relaxing break from your routine, in addition to ensuring fresh, pesticide-free food without leaving home. Healthier diet for the whole family, including pets.

Natural food for pets is gaining more and more followers, either as the main diet or to complement a pet food-based diet. If vegetables are not on the daily menu, they can serve as delicious snacks and rewards for good behavior, replacing processed snacks.

What we cannot offer to pets

⚠ ️ Experts warn, however, that not everything that is healthy for us is good for our pets. The list is not definitive, but find food that may be in your garden but are not good for the health of dogs and cats:

Avocado
Plum (and prune, seed)
Garlic and leeks
Star fruit
Onion
Cherry
Tomato

IMPORTANT: dairy products (chocolate, for example) and bones (apparently innocent from the barbecue) are also dangerous as they pose a risk of gastrointestinal problems and food poisoning – bones can also choke in the throat or hurt organs and tissues in the digestive tract.

What we can offer to pets
OK, I will be strong and I promise not to give in to that cute little face leaning on my leg asking for the treats up there. So, what is allowed to slip off the plate as a treat for them? These are some options:

Banana
Beet
Broccoli
Carrot
Chayote
Apple
Papaya
Melon
Strawberry
Pear

Vegetables should be offered without salt or seasoning, cooked in water or steam – in smaller quantities to cats. All chopped and without seeds.

Those who live in an apartment and do not have an external area can grow their vegetable garden in small pots (check out this post on our blog) or even mount a vertical garden.
