Question
My dog loves fruits, papayas are his favorite, and melons, we feed him lots of frutis and veggies as a supplement to his regular diet of pedigree dog food. I was unable to find that particular food and if it is safe foe canine consumption. Can you help?

I would HIGHLY suggest visiting your vet just to be sure though!Your dog has to have the right food,diet,vitamins and supplements in a day to keep him healthy.Your vet will be to provide a lot of the information for you.

I hope this has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck!Please keep me posted and give that dog millions of kisses for me!Sending wagging tails your way!
