I’m very much new to this pet parent life but I’m seeing that everything with these dogs really has to be in moderation. Feed them almost anything but it has to be cooked and in moderation too. Right?
Wow. Surprising how I’m just learning about this turnip now. I’m always on the Internet searching for natural foods my dog can try. This hakurei turnip looks like something I need to include in his dietary list especially as it contains Vitamins C, A, K, folate and calcium.
Well, my dog definitely does not share in my enthusiasm with this Hakurei turnips. He just doesn’t like it and no matter how hard I try to hide it in his food so he can eat it unknowingly, he will always notice it and then try to keep it aside while he finishes the rest of his meal. Such a smart dog!
Lol! This is just my dog. The turnips are a healthy option for dogs but my own dog doesn’t want to even know that. He has never tried it so I can’t say maybe he really doesn’t like it. But I’ll keep trying because it’s one of those vegetables we have a lot in our region and do not even know what to do with them.
