I have a year old Boxer. Is it safe to feed it butter mixed in his dry feed, he really likes it.
I do mix other foods in with it on different days ie. fish ect. Is butter harmful.

Many of today's pet foods (even some premium brands) still don't contain all of the vitamins and minerals that our pets need for optimum health. That's why pets benefit greatly from a daily dose of supplemental vitamins and minerals, just as their owners do. NutriSauce is packed with up to 22 vitamins and minerals its like a vitamin pill in every tablespoon.

Great tasting sauces made from beef, chicken or pork for dogs carrots, celery, parsley, garlic and tomatoes form the base of each NutriSauce recipe.

Much better for your sweet boxer than the salty butter and it's about $3.99 a bottle available almost any pet supply shop.

Butter contains derivatives from milk which at his age he should not be drinking anymore of and can develope a lactose intolorance of it. Also butter is high in fats which the dog is or should be provided all the neccessary fat in his diet. Feeding further fat will only create blockage in his arteries and cause stomach upset.

It is very very fattening. Plus you are going to create a picky eater. If you want to mix in something that is tasty and good for them, mix in salmon or fish oil and vitamin E. They love it and it excellent for their coats, skin, heart health, and joints.

Why are you adding all these different things in his food. With the approiate food,,,,,,,,there is no REASON to add People Food. Go to your vet he has any kind of food that YOU should be feeding him already?? Take my advice,,,the better you feed and treat your pet,,,,the longer Healthier Lifestyle They will have. Good luck and Please CONTACT your VET!!

I should not think it is a good idea as butter has a very high fat content.

i don't know if it is harmful but it would make him very fat. try mixing in pouches of wet food if you have him on dry food. but only do it as a treat otherwise he might become picky with his food
