Dont know if they are the best, But I feed Spinach with grated Carrot.

I give mine whatever I am growing. Mainly spuds and greens - they love it

i heard potato is not great for them...i get the bags of mixed veg you get in a bag from the shop and just add it to there meat

[bracken boy 584]

anythink in moderation,never had a problem, cabb, carrots, and a wee bit of spud

Green leaf veg can be great, spinach, kale etc Root Vegetables are good also, I would recommend feeding more leaf veg if possible.

 

The most important thing to remember is that the vegetables is broken down to enable your dog to use it better as dogs are not the best at breaking down plant cells (cellulose walls) ( a good example of this is when your dog eats grass and its comes out the same as it went in). The best way is too blend, pulp, mince or liquidise the veg raw to maintain it keeps all the nutrients, however boiling or steaming and then mashing can suffice as it will break down the cellulose walls of the plant.

 

I have often done a batch up in the liquidiser and then put it in ice cube trays and then just pop a few cubes out each day for the dog when you defrost the meat.

 

Good luck Sirius

I always bottle up and refrigerate all of the water week cook our vegetables in and pour it over the dogs feed so it gets the vitamins in them that way.
