Fruits n' Vegetables for Dog Food

Should you feed your dog fruits and vegetables? Absolutly! All the wonderful vitamins and minerals we get from fruits and vegetables are also needed by your dogs. Young dogs like to chew things as they grow up. Why not start them on carrots? Carrots are very nutritious and help keep teeth clean as they chew on them. The carrot habit will last into their adulthood. Cooked carrots and other vegetables like green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, avacado, zucchini, kale, broccoli, spinich, and parsely are also good mashed into brown rice and meat is also very good and naturally healthy. BUT NO ONIONS! Onions are very toxic for pets.

Good sources of the mineral potassium are fruits, peanuts, potatoes and tomatoe sauce.

What fruits can dogs eat? NO GRAPES or RAISINS. They are toxic and will make you pet very sick. I work with a man whose dog loved grapes so he fed them to her often and as much as she wanted. She became very ill and died. But most fruits are safe for pets to eat. Dried figs, dates, prunes, blueberries, and apricots are excellent treats. Also, try some fresh apple slices, berries, pumpkin, peaches, nectarines, cranberries and bananas. Vitamins, minerals, and fiber... you can't beat it.

Never feed any part of an avocado to a dog; it's highly toxic.
