I have to dissagree here. Cooking the vegetables kills the vitamins and enzymes that dogs need in order to digest these vegetables! Pulverize them in a food processor. Broccoli, carrots, zuchini, squash, sweet potato, all given RAW! All fruits are ok, except for raisins and grapes. Feed in moderation as too much fruit can cause lose stools! But don't take my word for it as I too had these questions about canine nutrition and other concerns!
I have purchased Michele Welton's e-books and they changed my life! Visit her website at www.yourpurebredpuppy.com. She's the author of "Teach Your Dog 100 English Words" and other vital information. If you have questions about the e-books, PM me! I don't mind sharing with my fellow Yorkie Talkers! Do yourself and your beloved pet a favor; REALLY educate yourself about their nutrional needs! I did, and and found soooo much more info in her books! They were worth every penny!
