Celebrate National Blueberry Month with Dog Treat Recipes
What have you done to celebrate national blueberry month? And most importantly how are you celebrating with your dogs? Have you taken your dog to a blueberry festival? Have you taken your family to a U-Pick farm at all this summer? Our fave U-Pick farm near Portland is Columbia Farms. Dogs are not allowed in the fields, but this is typical with many farms during the summer months. They are allowed in the pumpkin patches though in October!And blueberries are a super food! “The fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and phytonutrient content in blueberries supports heart health. The absence of cholesterol from blueberries is also beneficial to the heart. Fiber content helps to reduce the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and decrease the risk of heart disease,” according to Medical News Today. https://www.instagram.com/p/Blfm_9KHkSU/?tagged=blueberrymonthAnd you don’t need to be a contestant on the TV show Chopped to prepare some of our top picks for blueberry dog treat recipes!
