giving raw carrot as a treat? I came home today , and had a bag of fresh carrots . Suzi our yorkie and Miely really sniffed at the carrots and one of them tried to bite a piece off. SO I offered them a small piece of carrot. one of them loved it, the other just chewed on it and spit it out. Is it ok for them to have a small piece of carrot once in a while? |
Hmmmmm I am not sure I know I have given Andy a little bit of cooked carrot but not sure about raw |
Either is fine (cooked or raw). Raw do present a small choking hazard if they don't chew very well. Cooking vegetables improves digestibility for you pups. |
ok , thank you . Having them cooked is better and safer. :aimeeyork |
I hope it is good....my guys eat baby carrots all the time:eek: |
Mine eat the baby carrots too. After Beamer has been groomed he dashes to the fridge and as soon as I open it he scratches at the vegetable drawer like he is anxious to get it open - he wants his carrot:) I only need to mention carrot and he will go to the fridge! I did ask the vet if it was OK for the Yorkies to have the raw baby carrots and she said it was fine. |
my pekingese loves the baby carrots my yorkie will play with hers buy my vet said only 3 a day for mee ling she would eat the whole bag full she also sits at the fridge that is where she is right now hopeing someone will give her another one but no more for today |
Mine like carrots too. I buy the crinkle cut frozen ones so I always have them on hand. I also give fresh (or frozen) carrots, celery, green beans, broccoli, red bell peppers, or zucchini and they like all of the above. |
Ours love their baby carrots. They can't wait for daddy to fix his lunch for the next day to get some. DH cuts really small pieces for Tina (old) and Dudley, who I think has the smallest mouth in the world. Lexi eats hers whole and I think he cuts Kayla's up too. |

Levi loves raw carrots (I chop baby carrots into smaller pieces). He loves every raw fruit and veggie I have let him try, but carrots are definitely among his favorites. |
dexter loves raw carrots, peas, zuccini and peppers! they are ok to feed as treats, but not as a meal replacment or anything like that |
Mine love baby carrots as well. Anytime they see us with the bag they get excited, lol. |
My Yorkies love the baby carrots as well. I give one whole baby carrot about once a week. These also help clean their teeth from the scrubbing when they chew it up! ;) I've never had any trouble with loose stools or anyone choking although they are always supervised with any treats. Teresa |
Maximus gets crazy when he sees a carrot! I also chop it up for him and he will cry for little pieces of apple!! Too cute! |
