I was talking to a lady at petsmart who had a real pickie eatter. And she said that her toy breed (I don't remember what she was, she didn't have her there at the time) loved celery. She cut it up in bite size slices. I tried giving it to gus and he didn't want anything to do with it!

Mollie loves just about all kinds of veggies carrots, bell peppers, raw potatoes, brocolli stalks I know that there are a few others I just can't think what they are. I've never tried celery because I never have it. I never aquired a taste for it. Another yorkie that we had would come running every she knew that I was slicing up bell peppers and I would have to feed her some.

I have never tried that with my yorks but I bet it would be great for chewing. You could fill it with cream cheese or peanut butter too.

I don't know. I think I would be afraid of him choking and the stringy pieces. I guess you can peel it or cook it lightly to soften it. I give Brutus carrots as a treat everyday and he freaks out! All I have to say is you want a carrot and he goes nutso!

OH MY GOSH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can't believe you asked this today....

Today I fed Cowboy celery for the first time and was HOPING it was OK, Celery is alot of water so i was thinking it was probably fine. I gave him small pieces and LONG pieces to crunch and play with . I put him in the pen with them and he ate half of the amount Iput in there which was equal to 2 stalks.

I didn't even think of filling them...good Idea

By the way...LOL.. He is still alive and kicking so I guess it was OK

HisNameIsHarley · 09-15-2005, 03:29 PM

I cut his pieces into really small bits and he LOVED them! I was worried about giving him long pieces because of the strings so I just chopped em! He went nuts! And he's still alive hours later so I think we're safe! Thanks!

Frozen Brocoli stumps are a favorite summer treat for Chewy.

Yoda likes his celery cut into about 2 inch peices with peanut butter in them! (tip for you: put the peanut butter on first then cut, then its not as messy to make

)

So the peanut butter and cream cheese is safe to feed to them? I never knew that!
