I understand, or believe, that the healthy fresh stuff is vegetables, supplemented by fruits, not considered āas goodā because of sugar content.
Archie is eating almost everything, but letās stick to vegetables here:
I understand what he canāt have, but Iām trying to understand the nutritional value of what he can. For example, my vet told me no lettuce, because it has no nutritional value. So he doesnāt get that at all.
He loves his carrots, which I KNOW have to be good for him. But since he loves almost everything, does summer squash get a lower nutritional value than carrots? What about cucumbers? Fresh cooked beets? All kinds of peppers, and he eats them all?
Iām just trying to establish SOME kind of a 1 to 3 scale for the good stuff, to avoid the bad.
Are there any links here that make these distinctions? For example:
I would like to make him a sweet potato, but should I even bother putting that into his normal dietary rotation if itās not good for him?
