| Anyone Feed CARROTS to their Yorkies?? Hi there, I have a 7month old Yorkie male who is now 3lbs 9ozs. My friend brought over some petite carrots and she gave my Murphy one, he chewed it up and seem to like it. My question is tho, Does anyone feed their dog carrots and other types of veggies? Will carrots hurt him, so far he is fine with it. Just wondering because my friend says she feeds her dog carrots all the time and it is far less fattening then doggie treats. I have not asked the vet yet, so I am throwing it out to everyone here, to see. You can send me PM if you wish. Thanks everyone...I love this site Sincerely, Katharine

| Carrots Carrots are great for yorkies! My dogs prefer these over treats usually - well I haven't offered them both at once but Bubba will bark at me until I go open the fridge and give him a carrot - he never does this for treats! Also, lots of other fresh fruits & veggies are wonderful for dogs - just don't give them grapes! Mine love peas, beans, bananas, apples, watermelon- oh really anything fresh and wonderful

| I buy the baby carrots, but never give a whole one to my babies. I cut them up in very tiny pieces and mix with their soft food a few times a week. They also get a little cottage cheese or boiled childen in their food also. They eat both soft and hard food. They also get green beens. I cut these up too.
