Are carrots bad?? My 7 month old male Yorkie, Hadley has terrible breath, so I was reading that it would help to give him a carrot now and then which I have. Then I stumbled upon an article saying that carrots are really bad for Yorkies. Is this true because if so I feel terrible. Can anyone tell me what bad effects they have? I think his bad breath is from losing teeth right now. |
Mine love carrots! Never heard of them being bad? Sounds like he may have retained teeth causing his breath to not be pleasant!:) |

Do you feed raw carrots and how often? The vet checked his teeth when he was neutered and said none needed to be removed at the time. Over the last week he has lost three though. When I came home today he hadn't pooped all day though. I am seriously hoping he is not eating it and that is the cause :(. |

I'm not sure but I think I remember reading that baby carrots were not really good for them. Also, I have heard of some choking on the big pieces too. We just buy the big regular carrot. Peel it and them give him sliced carrots to help prevent him from choking. |

I put the carrots in a cuisinart raw and chop them up into tiny pieces and then sprinkle them in Cerise's cooked food. I have never heard of carrots being bad for a Yorkie. |
Bailey loves carrots, I slice them really thin for him :) |

I wish I could find the thread about the carrots, but I remember it was about the ingredients for packaging. If I do find it, I will be sure to post here. Bella Loves carrots too. |

YAY! Found it. I should've remembered Cindy posted this. :) snopes.com: Baby Carrots |

You just don't know anymore. But I do feel it's so much better than most of the treats out there. |
