My dogs absolutely love carrots, turnips, and potatoes (I don’t let them have potatoes often, since I’ve heard those aren’t good for dogs). My Pomeranian will eat any vegetable offered to her, except for green beans. She hides those under her doggy bed.

This article is horrible. I don’t know who wrote it but it comes from no scientific basis. First of all, ALL vegetable, fruits and proteins are healthy for dogs to it (except for onions, some nuts, the usual things, etc) and here’s the reason why. DUH. Plain and simple. How long do you think dog food has been around? They are animals, they need REAL FOOD, no some dried up crumbs with all the protein cooked out. Second of all NO Dairy and NO whole grain or oats are good for dogs. No yogurt, cheese (especially low fat, geez people, read a book, “low fat” items arent even good for humans). Dogs do no poses the same digestive system we do. While their bodies may TOLERATE these things it does not make them good. Dogs CAN NOT process dairy and the CAN NOT process grains. Grains are a pro-inflammatory (same reason cancer patients should not eat grains) and can only cause dogs inflammation and bloat. It’s common sense. Fruits, veggies and protein. Every dog (just like every human) has some foods that work better or worse for your body, just up to you to find out which.

The seeds aren’t just a choking problem, they are toxic. However, when taken out of context that info could sound worse than it really is… continue reading and you’ll see what I mean. You can google it too and find other supporting information, or just ask your vet… here is a link I found from google with a lot of good info on the topic… I pasted a quote from it below.

http://www.dogsupplies.com/pages/Are-Apples-Bad-For-Dogs%3F.html

So, its nothing to become an alarmist about, I don’t wanna take anyone down that road, but this is good information to share so we can all use our own best judgement when treating our pets with goodies… cause who doesn’t wanna give em some variety and let them experience different tastes etc?

(quote from link)
“Apple seeds contain amygdlin, a form of
cyanide, which is very poisonous to every living thing. Cyanide prevents
the blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body.

If the dog swallows a few seeds, the body will detoxify itself. Actually, the dog
must ingest large quantities of apple seeds to do major damage. Also,
the cyanide is within the seed covering, and if the covering isn’t
broken, it will pass through the dog’s system intact. Sort of a no harm,
no foul situation.

So, if you’re going to give your dog apples, core the apples. Then, cut them into bite-size pieces and feed the dog this way. This may seem overly cautious, but why take the chance.”

My dogs will eat any vegetable that falls on the floor. They love brussel sprouts and asparagus.

I always get laughs when people come to the door causing the dogs to flip out, which results in me throwing a couple apples out the back door (or, more rarely because of immediate availability hard boiled eggs). The dogs immediately are redirected and come back in for meet and greets much calmer. My two are bigger dogs (80 and 90 pound coonhound and lab respectively), so I’m not terribly concerned with the seeds/core. These are the greatest treat EVER!

It’s really funny with hard boiled eggs, the hound will very carefully peel the egg with her front teeth, then eat the egg, and then eat the shell, about a ten minute process!
