Meatballs are a weekly must in our home. They’re simple to make and very versatile. Plus, meatballs make a great snack served solo or the protein component of your salad for lunch. Bison meat is one of the richest natural sources of CoQ10 (an antioxidant helpful in improving heart and neurological health). Variety is critical for your pup to receive the full spectrum of amino acids, essential fatty acids, and trace minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants necessary to thrive. This is a great alternative to include in both you and your dog’s diet.
