The benefits of turkey for your pet.

Like chicken, turkey is a lean meat, so it is a great source of protein for your dog. The question is, why should we choose turkey? One reason is that unlike chicken, turkey is usually perfect for dogs with sensitive digestion or allergies. These are certainly not the only positive properties of turkey, so we will discuss them in more detail.

1. Allergies. Yes, turkey is indeed a great alternative to chicken or beef for dogs with allergies and sensitive digestion. The protein in it is very easily digested and tolerated by most dogs.

2. Extremely low in fat. It sounds incredible, but 100 grams of turkey contains as much as 50% less fat than the same amount of chicken! Feeding fatty food is a major risk factor for obesity and pancreatitis in dogs.

3. Excellent source of B vitamins. Turkey is rich in water-soluble B vitamins, which are essential for maintaining the nervous, immune and digestive systems, as well as healthy nails and skin.

4. Rich in zinc and iron. Turkey is rich in zinc and iron, minerals that are very important for a dog's body. Zinc is essential for maintaining a strong immune system. Iron contributes to the transport of oxygen throughout the body.

5. Source of choline. Choline is responsible for the proper function of the liver and brain. It also reduces seizures in dogs with epilepsy during a seizure.

6. Rich in selenium. Selenium is an essential antioxidant that fights oxidative stress, which damages your dog’s cells.

7. Source of phosphorus and calcium. We all know that phosphorus and calcium are minerals that are essential for our teeth and bones. Your dog is no exception!

8. Source of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral for maintaining proper muscle and nervous system function. The heart is also a muscle, so potassium is extremely important for ensuring its long-term functioning.
