If you would like to pack more of a punch into your dog’s diet, feed them microgreens. These tiny plants hold more nutritional value than their mature vegetable counterparts. They're easy to grow and eat. Even if you have a picky eater, you can hide these tiny micros in your cat or dog’s meal and he/she probably won’t even notice.. 🌾🍃🌿🌻
microgreens contain lots of vital nutrients which include the various vitamins, minerals, proteins, dietary fiber, folate, antioxidants, & pigments. You won't find some of these nutrients/minerals inside pet food.
