Don’t get the wrong idea, this isn’t about feeding your dog green beans and nothing else. Here’s at it works: You get a can of green beans and mix some of that up with your dog’s own regular food.

The benefit of this is keeping your dog full in between meals. If you have a dog, and she’s anything like my dog, she’s always hungry and on the hunt for anything extra between meals. But if she has some green beans mixed in with her food, she stays full and doesn’t feel deprived. She’s happy and content until it’s mealtime again.

This trick isn’t something you have to do for all dogs. At the same time, it’s a good solution for those dogs that could easily eat more than they ought to in one sitting. This doesn’t mean you have to go buy several tons of cans at the store; you’re just slipping a small amount of beans into your dog’s food. Don’t use an entire can. Just keep the leftovers in the can and store it in the fridge for the next day.

You’ll be able to keep track of how much your dog is eating by measuring it. Once she’s used to it, be sure to give her the same amount every day. In the beginning, though, start small. Add a little bit, then ramp up the amount each day.

Go ahead and stock up on green beans if you see a great sale. But remember, you won’t be going through them that fast, unless you have a huge dog that can eat a huge helping of food at one time.

How many green beans do you feed her? You need to take into account how big she is and how much she usually eats. By the way, do your best to get green beans without added salt; this is very important.

The biggest advantage to this diet dog food plan is that it will help your dog get back to her healthy weight which will give her better health and more energy. So, go for the green.
