| Veggies!! I'm really interested in feeding Sassy & Lola some Veggies for a little snack. What are some good veggies to give them that will not make them sick? I havent tried any yet because I've always been worried I will hurt they're Tummys. Does anyone feed they're Dogs Veggies? If so, which ones are okay to give them? Thankyou!

My Lil Man! Donating Member | Carrots are good to give them! If you get those lil baby carrots just rinse them off with water like you would if you were to eat them and then give it your furbaby! As with anything...dont give too much. I would think a carrot a day would be fine! |

| I mix chopped carrots or spinich or green beans in Ted's food. But for a snack I cut up 1/2 an apple really small chunks and hand feed it between him and Wallace one piece at a time. They LOVE IT..and you must have complete silence so you can hear him chomp. They look forward to apple nights a few nights a week. Have fun. |

| My Bella loves carrots,raw and brocolli,raw or cooked.tomatoes are her favorite.And they all seem to agree with her.I only give them to her like every couple of weeks. She likes cooked green beans but they do not agree with her little belly,she gets sick when she eats them so that's now a No No. |

| Mine love fruits and veggies - their favorites are apples, green beans and carrots. I have to be careful with those baby carrots cause my littlest guy will swallow them whole and they come out the same way

| The only veggie I've tried so far is baby carrots, and Nikko LOVES them. Whole ones he devours like a chew stick, whittling it down - omg, I'm so happy he doesn't swallow them whole! If I just give him little pieces he just picks up with his mouth, tosses down a few feet away, then pounces on them, then repeats the whole process at least a half dozen more times before maybe actually eating the carrot piece.

I haven't tried any other veggies besides baby carrots. Once I've given him a carrot he devours every piece!

| Celery is fine but because it is so stringy raw, it may be a bit of a choking/coughin hazard for some dogs. Ellie gets it raw and cooked sometimes.

| Carrots go come out of Baxter in the same form they go in. He doesn't digest them at all. He was trying to get an apple out of the bag of fruit that I had on the floor last night so I will try cutting some up for him. He has a very sensitive stomach so he won't get much the first time. |

| I've heard not to feed them cauliflower or broccoli because it can cause kidney stones, or something not nice internally I feed teddy carrots all the time! |
