Sharing my green smoothie with my pugman?

[puglogic]

My vet has Ike on the ultra-low-fat Royal Canin intestinal diet. Seems pretty boring and monoculture to me, but he's not having any problem eating it, so I'll stick with it for the time being.

I've been making myself fat-free green smoothies for breakfast for some time, typically containing things like blueberries, bananas, pumpkin, dandelion greens, spinach, kale, etc. No nuts or anything like that. This morning, on a whim, I put a dollop of it on his food and he went berserk -- loved it. Is there anything wrong with giving him some of this? I'm supposing not, but just wondering if there are any freshies besides onions and grapes/raisins that I'd need to be careful not to use?

He gets a hilarious little froth on his upper lip, like a little kid drinking a milkshake without a straw....

[Mom to Lucy]

As far as I know, everything sounds ok. Not sure about the dandelions, but I'm sure others will chime in.
We need pictures of the froth!

[Snifter]

A small dash of that sounds just fine to me.

All of those ingredients sound good to me.

Thanks!!

he told me to tell you to put some chicken or bacon in the next one!

Take care,

He WOULD, too

chicken, bacon AND some super green powder like kelp or seaweed, chlorella.

It sounds like a good mix and it sounds like he loves it! Our pugs get a lot of those same things in their homemade "breakfast slop" - leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnip greens, some parsley, some kelp... and fruits like banana, blueberries, strawberries. Then we add ground meat and liver/organ meats and to me it is suddenly disgusting smelling, but that's when the pugs really go crazy for it!
