| Frozen Fresh Fruit As A Treat Many of my friends who have dogs in their family told me that fresh fruit is an ok snack. Since Sophie is teething, I thought that frozen peaches and mango may help. Would this be a bad idea? |

| I give Joey and Tank fresh fruit and veggies...it helps to keep them from getting constipated, and they enjoy the healthy snack. I have to be careful with Joey, as he has a sensitive tummy, but if they just get one baby carrot or a couple bites of apple, they're totally fine.

| Pumpkins... All my dogs have always enjoyed frozen raw pumpkin, its also good to have on hand if your pup comes down with a pooping issue. |

| Just make sure not to give them grapes or raisins. My pups love apple bites, watermelon, lettuce, carrots, and Tiki's favorite is frozen blueberries.

We also give them chopped up frozen green beans (one strand ea) mixed in w/their kibble for dinner. It's already cooked, then frozen & it has fiber. They luv it!

| Strawberries are good for them, packed w/Vitamin D. I know we're not supposed to give them grapes or raisins bc it can cause severe kidney problems or even failure. If someone knows more about strawberries, please let us know.
