Anyone Feed CARROTS to their Yorkies?? Hi there, I have a 7month old Yorkie male who is now 3lbs 9ozs. My friend brought over some petite carrots and she gave my Murphy one, he chewed it up and seem to like it. My question is tho, Does anyone feed their dog carrots and other types of veggies? Will carrots hurt him, so far he is fine with it. Just wondering because my friend says she feeds her dog carrots all the time and it is far less fattening then doggie treats. I have not asked the vet yet, so I am throwing it out to everyone here, to see. You can send me PM if you wish. Thanks everyone...I love this site Sincerely, Katharine |
Carrots Carrots are great for yorkies! My dogs prefer these over treats usually - well I haven't offered them both at once but Bubba will bark at me until I go open the fridge and give him a carrot - he never does this for treats! Also, lots of other fresh fruits & veggies are wonderful for dogs - just don't give them grapes! Mine love peas, beans, bananas, apples, watermelon- oh really anything fresh and wonderful |
same here...all of our dogs go nuts for carrots. sometimes, i cut them up small and put it in their food and they LOVE it!!! i have always heard that they are really good for them!! |
I freeze the baby carrots and give them to her. She absolutely loves them and they are really good for them. |
My mil always fed her yorkie carrots. They really seem to love them. I haven't given mine any yet. I keep forgetting. lol |
My lil one gets shredded carrots in her dry food ocasionally as an extra added treat...she loves them and scarfs them down...yummm yummm :animal36 :animal36 |
Mine love 'em -- raw as a treat or cooked and mixed with their kibble. |
Manhattan loves carrots, we also freeze them and I think its helping him with his teething. |
Cody loves carrots!! he also likes bananas, cottage cheese, apples (no seeds or skin) |
Autumn loves Carrots. She also likes Tomatoes, lettuce and apples! |
Carrots are wonderful AND healthy for them!! Daisy loves them...I think she likes the "crunch" to them more than anything... |
i thought tomatoes were bad for dogs? |
Mine love frozen cut green beans and baby carrots :) |
I buy the baby carrots, but never give a whole one to my babies. I cut them up in very tiny pieces and mix with their soft food a few times a week. They also get a little cottage cheese or boiled childen in their food also. They eat both soft and hard food. They also get green beens. I cut these up too. |
Mine love carrots and Cherrios.:aimeeyork |
My yorkies love cooked carrots... when dogs were created ... was dogfood already created ? I think it is great to feed them veggies . |
TJ just started eatting acarrots and he really likes them too! |
tomatoes are NOT good for them...nor are grapes, raisins and some other foods...you can do a search on foods toxic to dogs. |
carrots my guys get carrots, cut up small, green and red peppers, brocoli a bit.. veggies like that are far better treats then most..a friend of mine has three yorkies, never gone to the vet except for there shots, they do not buy treat, only the veggies..hope this helps.. pooh's mum... |
Jasper is 7 months and loves carrot sticks,not the baby ones,i am afraid he will choke on those! |
is small raw carrots ok to feed? Thankyou everyone for the reply, and i am so happy other people give their yorkie babies carrots too. I give murphy the petite carrots to chew, but do not cut them up. When I cut them up he doesnt eat them. Will giving them whole be bad for him? He loves to hold it with his paws, lays on my sofa and chews away. I sit and watch him as he eats. Thanks again for all the info. Katharine |
Both Winston and Maggie loves baby carrots. I give them a whole one and they both crunch away. My Vet totally supports us giving carrots, green beans, apples, etc. instead of snacks. |
And a word of advice on the apple, a couple little pieces, but no more than that(I found out the hard way) it will give them diarrhea:( |
thanks for letting me know! i didn't know it would cause diarrhea.. i found another thing the hard way.. don't give too much cottage cheese. i gave cody some which i didnt think was that much. and he had a pile of diarrhea last night |
My Tyra absolutely LOVES carrots! I feed them to her regularly. |
a teaspoon of cottage cheese is plenty..you want to watch the broccoli too, too much of that can hurt them too |
Mine snack on carrots all the time. They can tell when I'm chpping them in the kitchen. |
Carrots have the added bonus of adding bulk to the dogs poo so that it helps keep the anal glands clear. I've given my babies a baby carrot every morning and we've never had to have their anal glands emptied by the vet. |
I give Mojo and Lily baby carrots (that I chop up small) or steamed carrots...they love them!! I also give them green beans (another of their favorites)....apples and watermelon are up there high on their list of favorites too! Cheerios are okay....they will occassionally eat them...not often though. Shredded cheddar cheese....they love it! |
The vet advised me to give Milo carrots - not the baby ones, the big ones - without slicing. He said gnawing on carrots is really good for them, specially when they're teething. It helps with the pain, or something. |
