white bread

Post by Jedi_Sena »

White bread is okay, but not very nutritious. I would only feed as a treat once in a while. Check the ingredients for unsafe items like preservatives. It probably contains sugar or corn syrup which you want to try to avoid when possible.

bread ingredients

Post by Jedi_Sena »

You might be surprised at the amount of preservatives and sugars in white bread, but you have to check the label for exact ingredients of that particular brand or variety.
