Target Feeds Top Tip Tuesday- 19th September 2023

Dogs can be fussy little feeders at times. This can be particularly challenging for owners when purchasing feed for their animal or when needing to administer medicine into the diet. On average a dog has around 1,700 taste buds (in comparison to their owners who have approximately 9,000)! These taste buds respond to different microscopic molecules which are positioned all over the tongue. Dogs use these to recognize sweet, salty or bitter tastes which can become less attractive to dogs with low appetites. This can lead to owners being stuck on what to do in terms of their dogs diet.

Here at Target Feeds Ltd, we offer a range of herbs to tailor canine needs. Within this range we offer an appetite stimulant, known as Fenugreek (or in other terms Trigonella foenum hraecum). This versatile herb is known for its excellent palatability and holds a range of beneficial qualities to suit canine requirements. This includes being a key source of dietary fibre, calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc which can help enhance digestive health. The herb is also commonly used to help improve weight and condition which in turn supports muscle function.
