| I give my 12 week old puppy, cooked carrots, apple & banana as treats when she goes potty. It's helped with potty training so much & doesn't fatten her up like other treats might.

| Thank you! I have been giving Lyla honeynut cheeros for her treat and those seem to be helping a lot with her potty training. |

| Mine love froot loops. But, I had to stop feeding all people food to my little ones. Jett has a very sensitive tummy and gets loose poop from most types of food. I was giving him banana to help firm up his stool, and it helped, but now he won't touch the banana any more. So no more people food for us!

| My Pnut is like a 2 year old, he does not like any veggie! LoL, he loves watermelon, strawberries, and bannanas Sometimes when I am making a salad, a piece of lettuce will drop on the floor and he thinks he scored, he will take it over to the corner and chew it up and then spit it out |

| Vegetables There are many vegies that can be fed to dogs. Except Onions, Tomatoes not recommended but some do feed them. I would Not! Do your research easily by searching in Google "foods to avoid feeding your dog" or "Foods Toxic to dogs". NOTE: Too many vegetables, over time can possibly cause mineral deficiencies. My dog eats low glycemic vegetables since she has some yeast issues. Vegetables that I don't feed her currently are carrots, peas, any potatoes including sweets and yams. She does eat cucumbers, baby zucchini, cauliflower, asparagus, turnip, Brussel sprouts, beets (very little due to glycemic index) romaine lettuce centers, bok choy and has eaten broccoli, celery and I know I am forgetting a few. I noticed red dots on my dogs privates so have since cut out high oxalate vegetables to avoid oxalate crystals. Apparently, according to dogaware.com, dogs do not benefit nutritionally from carbohydrates although they do provide for antioxidants, trace minerals and most importantly, fiber. In order for the dog to easily digest the vegetables, it is suggested to boil them lightly until cooked, drain and rinse well before mashing or pureeing. Raw vegetables should be minced, to help aid in digestion. Dogaware.com suggests that raw vegetables are not harmful but do not provide any nutritional benefit. This makes sense to me as dogs diet is based on protein and fats. This is a useful article that I will refer you too as it talks about fruit. DogAware.com: Homemade Diets for Dogs (scroll down to "Guidelines for Raw Diets that Include Bones"). I can not comment on feeding fruit as my dog does not like to eat fruit, unfortunately, even though I do sneak bananas and apples into her meal at times.
