Are vegables good for dogs

Answer 1

I dont really know of any DONT`S for fruits.......but I WOULD NOT try grapes they could easily be swallowed whole. Actually, grapes (and especially raisins) are a BIG don't! They are toxic to most dogs. Onions, and things cooked with onions should never be given to dogs - they are also toxic, and the toxicity builds up over time. Vegatables wise I don`t know many dogs who eat veggies! Maybe you should try prepared foods(which have vegetables).

Dogs are omnivores, like their relatives, bears. They can eat both fruits and vegetables. My dog loves fruit - especially strawberries. Additionally, oranges, grapefruit and cayenne pepper are good for dogs; cayenne stimulates digestion.

Generally, dogs can eat raspberries, blueberries, bananas, Pears, mangoes, pineapples, apricots, peaches, and strawberries, as well as many other types of fruit. You will want to stay away from citrus fruits as they may upset your dog's stomach. As for vegetables, you can give your dog carrots, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, cucumber, beets, zucchini, peas, green bell peppers and the list goes on. It's important that you figure out what foods your dog likes best.

However, there are also some fruits and vegetables that you will want to avoid at all costs. When it comes to fruit, you don't want to give your dog grapes, raisins, and citrus fruits like Oranges. Grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs. You will want to avoid giving your dog raw onions as they can also be toxic. It's also important to never give your dog seeds or pits from fruit.

When you figure out which fruits and vegetables your dog likes, you can easily incorporate them into his food, give them as snacks, or use little pieces of it as a treat. The good thing about fruits and vegetables is that they are healthy. Of course, everything should be given to your dog in moderation, so don't overload! If you do give your dog too many fruits or vegetables, it may change the pH levels in his stomach.

Answer 2

They will eat most anything. I have one dog that loves green beans and peas. We had a giant zucchini that we threw in the yard the other day and the dogs ate that as well. You can try different things, it they don't like it they won't eat it.

Answer 3

Vegetables are good for dogs and they are best fed in a liquidised/shredded raw form as dogs struggle to break down large chunks of veg in the stomach, liquidising/shredding them make them much easier to digest. Raw veg contain vitamins and enzymes which can stimulate digestion but these enzymes are destroyed during the cooking process. Cooked veg will not harm your dog and can be a good filler but it has very little nutritional benefit.

Answer 4

They certainly don't hurt them. Many dog foods have vegetable products in them for vitamins. Dogs are however carnivores and the bulk of their diet should be meat.

Answer 5

Carrot sticks,green beans,cucumber slices,or zucchini slices.Even a plain baked potato is OK.It's a good healthy snack for your dog.

Answer 6

No, dogs can and do eat vegetables often. However, their diet should consist mainly of meat for optimum health.

Answer 7

Yes dogs can eat fruits and veggies the only ones they can't eat are Grapes and Onions they can eat any other fruits or veggies but beware some will make them gassie
