Dog owners often want to do something good for their four-legged friends by offering them some vegetables. Because what's good for humans can't be bad for a dog, can it?
Broccoli: Healthy for humans and animals
And that's true: Dogs also need nutrients from fruit and vegetables, which they get in the wild from roots, grass or even the stomach contents of their prey.
Some sources do not recommend feeding dogs broccoli, which can cause bloating. Since it belongs to the cabbage vegetables, that is also true. However, it only has this unpleasant effect in its raw state. If the broccoli is cooked, it is easily digestible for the dog and even healthy!
Broccoli contains, among other things, calcium, vitamins C and B, potassium, sodium, iron, flavones and sulforaphane as well as selenium - all nutrients that not only humans but also dogs need for a balanced diet.
So you are doing your dog a favour, if you give him a portion of broccoli every now and then.
Dogs, like people, have different tastes. If your dog doesn't like the broccoli, try carrots or potatoes (caution: only cooked!).
