Thor's Human Donating Member | I myself love celery and have tried feeding it to my pal several times. He's never been into it -- if I mix it up in his food, he pushes all the pieces out of his bowl with his nose. He does like carrots in moderation, and he makes the most darling little chewing noises. I agree with the other posters, you might want to try really small pieces, or cooked carrot to ensure maximum digestion. |

| I fed Duke a cooked carrot for the first time last week he kept staring at me when I was eating stew my mom made and I hate cooked carrots so I gave it to him and he loved it. He also likes snatching strawberries from my parents garden as my dad pics them he tries stealing them.

Tomatoes and tomato plants. These contain atropine, which can cause dilated pupils, tremors, and heart arrhythmias. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants, followed by unripe (green) tomatoes, followed by ripe tomatoes. So if you have the good fortune to have a tomato plant or two on your stoop, be sure your dog doesn’t nibble on it, and it’s safest not to feed him tomatoes either. From urbanhound - the city dog's ultimate survival guide - health advice, walkers, sitters, day care, local dog events, message boards and a canine community My two love bell peppers-green, red, and yellow, as well as celery-I just make sure it's chopped well so they don't get the strings in their poo Snap peas are also a favorite around our house, as is zucchini-I just grate it up raw.

| Most veggies are okay. Carrots, green beans, peas... DO NOT give tomatoes or onions. Read this and it will tell you the most common foods that are toxic to dogs. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...oods-dogs.html

| Oh No I really hope cauliflower and broccoli are not bad for Yorkies. Bella loves both plus spinach and peas. I can't get her to eat apples or carrots or strawberries, but I keep trying, thinking one day she might try them. :confused::aimeeyork |

I gave Bailey 2 small pieces of raw sweet potato today and he loved it. Is that ok? I was afraid to give him more until I found out for sure.

I think cooked is much safer and cooked white or sweet potato is a good snack. The "disease" that makes potato skins green is not good for them and I just err on the side of caution and cook all potatoes...

| The other day I froze a baby carrot, and Nikko really enjoyed it for about five minutes of fierce chewing, then it started to thaw and get soggy (you know how foods change when you freeze them sometimes), then he lost interest. But while the frozen-ness lasted, it was fun! Lauren & Nikko |

| I don't think avocadoes are great either-they are high in fat. Try green beans, peas, carrots, celery, squash, zucchini, and even lettuce.
