Nice one mate, I thought there would be more advice from others than this though. Cheers John

Just carrot ?

Veg is not an essential part of a dogs diet... it must be liquidised (otherwise it's undigestible) if it's fed.

 

Mine seem to enjoy a bit of veg now and then, usually if there's some leftovers on the kids plates. . I wouldn't go out of my way to feed it.

Carrots, swedes, cabbage, anything green they will eat. Will not do them any harm at all and helps their bowel movements to become more regular so you can time feeding with emptying times. JMHO. Cheers, D.

Ice Berg Lettuce - has no nutritional value but is OK to feed. You can use

as a filler.

Tomatoes (avoid the leaves and stems) -

Carrots - These are high in sugars so be careful

Bok Choy -

Parsley-

Oranges -

Apples (not the seeds) -

Caution Veggies' & Fruits

(Foods you can feed but with cautions)

 

Garlic - fed in small amounts is very beneficial for your dog. It is

considered natures antibiotic. However, to much can cause anemia and upset

stomach. So when making your veggie mix, use 1-3 cloves but no more.

Grapes / raisins- (in high amounts) Dogs exhibit gastrointestinal problems,

including vomiting and diarrhea and then signs of kidney failure with an

onset of severe kidney signs starting about 24 hours after ingestion of the

grapes or raisins.

Eggplant - OK to feed the fruit but avoid any other parts. They can cause

upset stomach, drooling, lethargy, heart failure

Avocados (& leaves) - Stay away from the leaves. The fruit part is OK to

feed in small amounts.

Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Rhubarb - OK in small amounts. While these are not

toxic, they are high in oxalic acid, a compound that interferes with calcium

absorption, so don't feed these very often.

Cabbage/Broccoli/Cauliflower - OK to feed in small amounts but may cause

gas. If fed frequently and in large amounts these will depress the thyroid.

Potatoes –

 

Cautions: If your dog is diabetic or has arthritis and has/had cancer then

you may want to stay away from underground veggies because they convert to

starch/sugar which aggravates arthritis. Cancer cells also thrive on sugars.

 

Bad Veggies' & Fruits

 

(Foods to be avoided all together)

Onions & (onion powder) - upset stomach, and can cause Heinz body anemia.
