Chia, superfood

Did you know that Chia or Salvia Hispanica is related to mint? It is a plant of the Lamiaceae family. It is native to central and southern Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Along with flax, it is one of the plant species with the highest concentration of Omega 3 alpha-linolenic fatty acid. It has been in this world since approximately 2600 BC. It was cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans and was part of the daily diet of these civilizations. It is even believed that it was used by warriors and runners to have enough energy and balance their diet.

Chia for dogs on the BARF diet

If you have a very gluttonous dog, don't hesitate. Chia provides a feeling of satiety for dogs with a big appetite. Half a tablespoon for small dogs. One scoop for medium and large dogs. Add it to your CRU menu! You can also mix it with water, natural yogurt or kefir. Mix it a little before serving so that the seeds expand and release their essential oils. *This article has been written based on our knowledge and unconditional love for dogs and cats, but at no time does it replace the advice of a veterinarian. The CRU will be happy to try to resolve any questions you may have, but if your pet suffers from any pathology, we recommend that you consult with a registered veterinarian. Share:
