Chia for dogs on the BARF diet
If you have a greedy dog, don't hesitate. Chia provides a feeling of satiety for dogs with a big appetite. Half a tablespoon for small dogs. One tablespoon for medium and large dogs. Add it to their raw food menu! You can also mix it with water, natural yogurt, or kefir. Stir it a little before serving so the seeds expand and release their essential oils.
