Natural Cornish Pet expands sweet potato treats range

Natural Cornish Pet has added Sweet Potato Chunks and Fries to its range of sweet potato treats.

Sweet potato is a rich source of vitamins C and B6, as well as being a good source of manganese, potassium and other B vitamins. Vitamin C can help to reduce inflammation in dogs and can also be helpful in improving their cognitive function. Vitamin B6 is vital in the functioning of the red blood cells, is essential in maintaining a healthy central nervous system, as well as helping to regulate hormone distribution.

In addition, potassium aids electrical function in the brain and nervous system in your dog and manganese aids in the preservation of strong bones and cartilage.

The common dark orange coloured sweet potato is also a source of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A and can help to maintain and nurture your dog’s eyesight, as well as improving immune function.

Sweet potato can also help to balance blood-sugar levels so is a good alternative treat for those dogs suffering from diabetes.
