imported_Kat Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 What sort of veggies do you lot give to your dogs? I've started to give Kes some green beans, broccoli, cauliflower in with her dinner cos she always seems to be half starved. Although I have a suspicion that if she was given the full bag of food she would still be starving :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblezzz Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Cosmic is currently on a vegetarian diet. I give him a huge variety of veggies. He does tricks for carrot sticks & green beans. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Kat Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 are any fruits or veg actually dangerous? I don't think I've heard of any that are but I'd like to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotten_two Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 fruits with pits(stones) obviously seed them before you feed. i think i read that avocado the pit and the meat were dangerous, but am not positive. i stay away from onions and garlic oh and grapes/raisins are a no no too. i guess anything in a great amount to start could upset tummy but you already know that. there are very few veggies/fruits that aspen won't eat -- he doesn't care for cherry tomatoes i think because they "pop" in his mouth and he doesn't care for red bell peppers. now gaia much like me has a consistency problem she doens't like mushy stuff. she won't eat strawberries or blueberries and i have to freeze watermelon before she will eat it.

imported_Kat Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 ok thanks R2. I knew about the grapes and raisins but forgot to list those. I know 2 people who lost dogs to raisin poisoning :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDG Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 grapes/raisins and onions are the only things you really want to stay away from. there are veggies you don't want to overfeed (e.g. uncooked spinach and other "dark leafy greens" contain high amounts of oxalates) but fed in moderation they are not a problem as long as the dog doesn't have specific existing health problems. don't try too many at a time, so you can keep track of whatever doesn't work for your particular dog, e.g. many get bad gas from raw cabbage-type veggies, so it's better to cook/steam them instead.

JackieMaya Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I can post to this thread now because my puppers like eating veggies! Jackie and Maya would never eat any veggies until they saw Pooh Bear gobbling down any veggies I would give him: carrots, cauliflower, broccoli. So now they like them too! So I'm cutting back a little on their dry dog food and adding more veggies. And I give them baby carrots as treats (besides the regular dog food lite treats that they get).
