These posts are intended to give you information on different foods that can be added to your pet's meals. This option is: Soaked chia seeds.
You only need to give a small amount. Give 1/4 teaspoon daily for every 10 pounds of your dog’s body weight.
Soaking chia seeds makes them easier to digest, and your pet can absorb their nutrients easier this way.
How to do it:
-Soak chia seeds in a 1 to 10 ratio with water; so soak ¼ cup of chia seeds in 2-1/2 cups of water.
-Soak for a little as 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
-When your “soak” is complete, you’ll have more of a gel mixture.
-You can also grind chia seeds in a coffee grinder (or NutriBullet) to create flour.
