Cranberries. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, cranberries can be found everywhere. Your pet can enjoy these tart little berries too, albeit not in a jelled relish/sauce with turkey ;-). Dried cranberries are a great snack and if your pet likes them fresh that is fine too. The cranberry can help with bladder infections. It is common for humans to drink cranberry juice for bladder infections, but stick with the berries for our pets. It makes the urine acidic and helps get rid of the bacteria.

Beet pulp is a great forage source. I like it feed wet to all those horses who are working hard or need to put on weight.

Are you worried about feeding beet pulp to your horse because you heard it may expand in the horse's stomach and cause colic?

No need to fear. Beet pulp's excellent digestibility actually makes it a useful addition to the diet of many types of horses — especially "hard keepers" that need to gain weight, horses with dental problems, convalescing horses, and geriatric horses who have trouble chewing or digesting other types of forage. Because beet pulp is really a fiber supplement, not a grain, you can safely feed as much as you like; just be sure to start with a small quantity and gradually increase the amount you’re feeding.
