| Are carrots bad?? My 7 month old male Yorkie, Hadley has terrible breath, so I was reading that it would help to give him a carrot now and then which I have. Then I stumbled upon an article saying that carrots are really bad for Yorkies. Is this true because if so I feel terrible. Can anyone tell me what bad effects they have? I think his bad breath is from losing teeth right now. Last edited by Gen; 03-24-2010 at 01:37 PM. |

| Mine love carrots! Never heard of them being bad? Sounds like he may have retained teeth causing his breath to not be pleasant!

Do you feed raw carrots and how often? The vet checked his teeth when he was neutered and said none needed to be removed at the time. Over the last week he has lost three though. When I came home today he hadn't pooped all day though. I am seriously hoping he is not eating it and that is the cause . | |

| I can't find the article but it said that carrots can cause some sort of problem with the kidneys but didn't say exactly what. Glad to know its ok. I thought I was doing a good thing. I just give him a baby carrot whole and he loves it. I wasn't afraid he was eating the teeth by the way, I was afraid he was eating his poop since there was none to clean up today when I came home and eating the poop was causing the bad breath lol. Thanks for making me feel better I was so worried. |

| I'm not sure but I think I remember reading that baby carrots were not really good for them. Also, I have heard of some choking on the big pieces too. We just buy the big regular carrot. Peel it and them give him sliced carrots to help prevent him from choking.

I put the carrots in a cuisinart raw and chop them up into tiny pieces and then sprinkle them in Cerise's cooked food. I have never heard of carrots being bad for a Yorkie.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | I wish I could find the thread about the carrots, but I remember it was about the ingredients for packaging. If I do find it, I will be sure to post here. Bella Loves carrots too.

My girls LOVE carrots. I had to slack of a bit b/c Maddie was getting were she would only eat when her food had carrots in it and sometimes eat just the carrots...such a brat. Carrots themselves are healthy treats. | |

You just don't know anymore. But I do feel it's so much better than most of the treats out there.
