Feeding Vegies

[ddavis6326]

I am interested in feeding my yorkie fruits and vegetables. Is there a list available? Also do you feed it to them raw? Are they cooked? How much do you give them?

Most veggies are safe for dogs to eat but not all. I have included some sites for you to look at. Also some types of nuts are also poisonous to dogs as well. I usually only give my boy like a couple of carrots or a small treat. These should not be substituted for their normal diet. Most veggies can be given raw. I am sure cooked is okay to. They love sweet potatoes which you would cook...hehe.

oops, I have been feeding my babies canned peas, green beans, carrots. But tonight I thought they should have something different I boiled some frozen veg and they are STILL eating...

I have a picky eater Jack and he is licking it up.

I did not know about he sodium in canned so did I do wrong should I use frozen. Oh about the fruits, they like pineapple, strawberries, Not bananas. I have not tried blueberries might try them.



Let me know

I actually do believe that fresh veggies are better than canned.

Both frozen and fresh are better than canned. In fact, depending on the season, frozen can actually be better.

I thought, Tricksie loved everything but I gave her a tiny piece of lettuce and spit it right out.

Yea, well I don't think lettuce is really good for them, not sure.. I know it can kill some small animals because it has to much water, my boy actually did eat lettuce once and he threw it up..YUCK!!
