Yeah, he did actually tell me although carrots are better than more dog food, I should use mostly green beans. Luckily my boys LOVE their veggies, so it shouldn't be a problem. I actually don't think they will be starving anyways, they are grazers, and usually don't finish their food until bedtime. Very bad habit they got into. I just need to make sure that I make them eat 2x a day and that they eat their food during those times.
