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.

What's the benefit? It helps keep your dog full 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. By adding some green beans to her food at meal time, keeps her full and well fed. She is satisfied until the next meal time.

This trick isn't something you have to do for all dogs. But this is really nice for these dogs that could eat more than they should at one meal. 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. Store the leftover green beans in the can in the fridge, until the next day.

By measuring it, you can keep track of how much your dog is getting. Once she's used to it, be sure to give her the same amount every day. But when you are getting started, just add a tiny bit, and work the amount up 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 much you feed her will depend a great deal on how big she is and how much she tends to eat. Another thing: No salt. Do your best to find green beans that don't have salt added in.

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.
