Answers:
Go to this website...it lists all the fruits and vegetables that a dog should NOT have because it could harm your dog. A good idea would be to print it off and keep it on the fridge as a quick reference whenever you are thinking about giving your dog a snack of fruit or vegetable. All fruits and vegetables should be given to a dog in moderate as too much could give the dog an upset tummy. Good Luck!

It's absolutely fine to feed dogs fruits and veggies. My grandma's dogs eat her tomatoes and beans right off of the vine! And it is ok to give dogs carrots.
i would prefer to give all that lovely veg you have to my guinea pig :)
A tiny bit of apple, carrot and blackberry is OK. white potatoes must be cooked or they are toxic to dogs.
only 11 huh you arnt supposed to be on this sight.
just let me give you a little tip NEVER i mean NEVER feed your dog GRAPES or RAISIANS it will kill your dog!!!
oh really
i'm 12
i don't think u should but i think apple's should be ok cause i gave my puppy those once and nothing happened to her.But cut them into lil peices and not to big kk??
But i don't think u should risk ur case with others.So i think carrots and apple's would be good.But try not to give to much cause then it might not ever eat the dog food again
Well I think it is ok to give veggies and fruits to a 8 week old puppy! What breed is it?? Is it cute?? Cause I love puupies!
stay away from white potato... mashed skinnless cooked sweet potato is ok.
apple is ok, but make sure you do not get the corr or seeds.. they are toxic to dogs
Beetroot is good in small amounts. must be processed or cooked.
Also, process the carrots too, the cellulose is hard to break down for dogs so they get the nutrition.
best of luck.
Hello
fruits and veggies /raw/ are great for dogs. Do not feed potatoes, as dogs can't digest them properly /raw nor cooked/, onions, grapes or tomatoes.
Carrots are great! Especially as frozen treats.
Just be careful introducing them slowly.
Your dog is still a babie :)))
Perhaps talk to someone who has experience, or your vet first.
Good luck!
My Vet says you can feed dogs Green Beans as a filler. Filler meaning the green beans are a healthy way to fill the dogs tummy up if it needs to lose weight when your cutting back on how much dog food you give it.
You just mix them up in the dog food.
i really don't know i think you might want to wait and look on the web or something i definitely know you can give her potato just cook it good before you give it to her and peel it 2. you do not want her choking on it. i know i was not a big help but i hope you puppy will grow up healthy. i have 2 dogs they are labs and my girl dog had 10 puppies so we took care of them all until they got sold.
This is a great website that gives you info on...
How and what kind of vegie's you can feed your dog.
Also some info on the meat to!
I'd avoid beans altogether. Sounds like you say you have a Staffie pup and unless you are feeding her a home cooked balanced for pup dog food, then it would be best to limit giving her anything else.
Too much of a good thing can cause diarrhea and cause her not to eat more of what she needs for a well balanced-for-canine diet. I would avoid beet/beet root too. White potatoes aren't bad but not that good for them. Sweet potatoes or yams are great for them- again, in limited portions. What is your dog's main diet?
I feed mine a kibble with no wheat, corn, no glutens, dyes or toxic preservatives. For snacks I give them apple slices (make sure no seeds!) and sometimes frozen banana slices. They love that. But only in small portions. They also like yogurt from time to time and you can buy a doggie ice-cream in some grocery stores which is called "Frosty Paws". It comes four ice-cream cups to a box and has a variety of flavors. My dogs love them all but their favorite is the "original" flavor. Stores I have found it at include: Kroger's, Randall's, Super Target. Call ahead to a large grocery store in your area and see if they have it available or if they can order it. Dogs LOVE it.
There are many good veggies and fruits for dogs, but dogs need more meat than the other.
Here is how I feed my dogs:
twice a day: Nature's Recipe Venison and Rice
Supplements: Skin Formulation 3V Caps (has omega3, Vit A, D and E in it, or Norwegian Cod Liver oil if I don't get the 3V) NutriVed for skin and coat.
Occasional RAW chicken backs without skin
Occasional frozen slices of banana or slices of apple
Occasional fresh or frozen from fresh- slightly steamed and mashed cranberries.
Sometimes sprinkle Brewer's yeast with Garlic (formulated for dogs) over their food.
They have great coats.
Never feed your dog grapes, onions, raisins or anything you are not sure about or that your dog has a reaction to that is normally okay for dogs.
If she likes blackberries, that's fine, but only give a few at a time.
I bet your dog is a very happy dog!
Contrary to some opinions of Vets that are not familiar with feeding animals a holistic diet catered to their nature, raw meat is good if right kinds.
