Nope, this is not about feeding your dog a strict diet of green beans only. What you’re doing here is making green bean diet dog food by mixing in some green beans with your dog’s regular food.
This has the benefit of keeping your dog feeling nice and full between meals. If you have a dog that’s anything like mine, she’s always hungry and looking for anything to snack on. But if she has some green beans mixed in with her food, she stays full and doesn’t feel deprived. She’s happy and content until it’s mealtime again.
Of course, this technique is not necessary for all dogs. But for those dogs that always seem to be hungry and eat more than they should in one sitting, this is a handy solution. If you decide to try this, remember that only a small amount of green beans per meal will do. You don’t have to go filling your pantry with tons of cans. Don’t use an entire can. Just keep the leftovers in the can and store it in the fridge for the next day.
Keep track of how much you are giving your dog by measuring it. Once she’s used to it, be sure to give her the same amount every day. But start small. Just slip in a little tiny bit, then increase the amount every day.
If you find them on sale, then go ahead and stock up. But do keep in mind that unless you have a giant of a dog who devours a heaping amount of dog feed in one meal, you won’t be going through them too fast.
The amount you feed her, depends of course on how much she typically eats and her size. Another thing: No salt. Do your best to find green beans that don’t have salt added in.
The biggest advantage to this diet dog food plan is that it will help your dog get back to her healthy weight which will give her better health and more energy. So, go for the green.
