Not only can dogs eat fruits and veggies but they add important nutrients to their diet. Chloe LOVES her fruits and veggies especially frozen veggies lol. I also cook up yams to add to her raw diet. She is wild about yams! There are some surprising foods that are not safe for dogs and can cause serious health issues. Here is a list of foods not to give your little one.
Toxic fruits and veggies
Grapes and raisins - can cause acute renal failure.
Apple. pear, peach and cherry seeds - these seeds contain small amounts of cyanide
Onions, garlic chives - can lead to anemia, seizure, liver and kidney problems and other issues
Avocado - can cause vomiting and diarreha
Tomatoes - can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias
Other unsafe food
Chocolate - can cause seizures, coma and death.
Caffeine - causes many of the same symptoms as chocolate
Macadamia Nuts - can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis
Nutmeg - can cause tremors, seizure and death.
I agree that with all of the chemicals and additives in commercially prepared dog food that it's difficult to find treats you feel comfortable offering to your little one. I offer Chloe a wide variety of fruits and veggies and not only is she happy but shes healthy and I never have to worry about her treats being recalled lol
Hope this helps
