Are baby carrots ok to give to my yorky? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I had a poodle that ate raw or cooked carrots. He also ate green beans, apple pieces, bananas....

Just make sure not to give them any veggies that have been cooked in a stew or soup with onions in it.

I give Couver and Khloe raw carrots but in small pieces. I don't think it would be a good idea to give them an entire raw carrot because of choking. They also like small bits of broccoli and cauliflower.

Lil' Miss Izzie gets a baby carrot at least 3-4 times a week when I have them in the house.....she loves carrots, grean beans, peas

My two will eat raw FROZEN green beans and raw frozen carrots. They will do anything for a frozen green bean. I sometimes thaw the carrots but with them being frozen, it makes them chew them up more than they would if they were thawed. My vet said they can have as many green beans as they want and to give the carrots sparingly due to the sugar in them. So I cut some carrots up and put them in their kibble a few nights a week.

Kacee loved to munch on a few crunchy carrots as a puppy. She doesn't care for them now. It was so cute, because she'd go to the regrigerator and ask for some.

We don't give Lilo carrots.. If we do they usually end up somewhere interesting like under her bed in her crate where she hides them lol. As long as they actually eat them and like them. Then baby carrots are fine!

All of mine eat raw,baby carrots. I usually cut them long ways into 4 to 6,matchsticks.

Trufflesmom · 12-07-2011, 10:43 AM

My Truffles used to eat raw carrots and my vet recommended them as good, healthy snacks.

celstu1 · 12-07-2011, 11:45 AM

My boys eat them and love them. I bet they clean teeth good too!

I don't feed my boys prepared food dishes, but I do feed them green beans (they LOVE them) apple pieces, avocado pieces, frozen peas, pieces of banana. They love their fruits & veggies.

Levi loves raw carrots.

I do chop them into smaller pieces before giving them to him to counteract the choking risk.

Yes, this would make them safe. It's amazing how many Yorkies love veggies, Joey's the first dog I've noticed this with. He too goes wild for green beans and snow peas, even broccoli.
