Lamb paste can have several benefits for dogs if fed in moderation. For one, lamb is a good source of protein for dogs, which also contains many important amino acids. Lamb is also rich in iron, zinc and vitamin B12, which are important for blood formation and the immune system.
On the other hand, lamb paste can provide variety in your dog's diet, especially if he otherwise only gets dry or wet food. Lamb paste can also be used as a reward or as an appetite stimulant if your dog is not eating well.
What are the disadvantages of lamb paste for dogs?
However, lamb paste also has some disadvantages for dogs that you should be aware of. Firstly, lamb paste is very high in fat and salt, which is not healthy for dogs. Too much fat can lead to obesity, digestive problems or even pancreatitis. Too much salt can increase blood pressure and put a strain on the kidneys.
