Many people think dogs should only eat meat, but the truth is that vegetables play a vital role in keeping our furry friends healthy. And when combined with the care and quality of our small batch, handmade food, these vegetables provide dogs with a balanced diet that supports their overall well-being.

At Poppy’s Picnic we only use locally sourced vegetables, ensuring your dog is getting premium nutrition and nutrient-rich plant-based ingredients.

Why Do Dogs Need Vegetables?

While dogs are primarily carnivores, they thrive on a well-rounded diet that includes vegetables. These natural plant sources offer numerous benefits:

1. Nutritional Balance: Vegetables deliver essential vitamins (like A, C, K, and B-vitamins) and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support various functions in your dog’s body, from immune health to vision and energy metabolism.

2. Fibre for Digestion: Vegetables are a fantastic source of fibre, which helps maintain healthy digestion and gut function. Whether your dog has loose stools or is prone to constipation, fibre-rich veggies can regulate their digestive system.

3. Antioxidants and Phytonutrients: Certain vegetables contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that support your dog’s immune system and help fight off chronic diseases. These compounds are especially beneficial for dogs prone to inflammation or illness.

4. Weight Management: Low-calorie vegetables can be a great addition to your dog’s diet, helping them feel full while keeping their calorie intake in check. Veggies like green beans, spinach, and carrots make for excellent snacks or additions to regular meals.

When feeding your dog vegetables, quality matters. Locally grown vegetables, like the ones we use at Poppy’s Picnic, are harvested from fields we can see from our windows. This ensures that your dog is getting the freshest, most nutrient-dense ingredients possible. We believe in sourcing produce that’s free from harmful chemicals, and we only include the finest vegetables to complement our high-quality meat.

We pride ourselves on making handmade food for dogs. This means every meal is crafted with care, ensuring that the ingredients retain their natural goodness. The combination of free-range, grass-fed meat and locally grown vegetables provides your dog with the highest level of nutrition. It’s the perfect balance of protein, fibre, and essential nutrients for optimal health.
