Dear Lily, Our Labs LOVE veggies!! Broccoli stalks are their FAVORITE treat. They eat almost anything that is non-leafy. We have to be careful, because onions are not particularly good for them (and they’ll eat these all day), but most of our vegetables go to them. Be careful not to give fruit with large pits, like peaches, because they may wolf down the seed and have internal blockage from them. Consult you vet as well, but ours recommends letting them have as much of most veggies as they want. Jim Hill Columbus, Ohio

Our Westie, Miss Molly, likes cauliflower, blueberries, grapes, and melon. We stay away from carrots, which are supposedly harder to digest. Our vet says that a bit of roughage of this kind is fine. It was funny to watch her the first time with a blueberry or grape, since she had to puncture it to get the taste. But once she caught on, all was fine.

My dogs eat just about any veggies and fruits. They seem to like carrots and apples the best, though. All my apple cores go to the dogs. They like red grapes, but tend to play with them first. My dachsie female has eaten nectarines and peaches, but I would not recommend giving these on a regular basis. They like cooked or over ripe tomato. The only thing I would suggest staying away from is celery. It seems to cause the same reaction as grass. They also love nuts.

My dog charles loves raw carrots. I peel them and wash them then cut the carrot(s) lengthwise into strips. I usually get 4 to 6 strips from one carrot. Charles will do anything for a raw carrot. He likes them more than his dog biscuits. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Does anyone give their dog(s) fruits or vegetables as treats, and which >types?

I just checked out the consumer report page concerning dry dog foods and couldn’t get in. If anyone has this info please post it. I was looking for the retraction concerning Ole Roy Dog Food.

Our GR loves carrots and broccoli as well as cherry tomatoes….he especially loves to pull them off the tomato plants himself. Linda

We feed our greyhounds many fruits & veggies. They love peas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans. Our female, Tiffany, also picks her own cherry tomatoes off the plant. On the fruit side: apples, grapes, bananas, melons, peaches, nectarines, oranges, grapefruit & strawberries. We only give them a few pieces as a snack or a treat. Sandy

Unfortunately, my doggie doesn’t like fruit/veggies much – (just like my husband – they both nibble their way around the veggies on their plates/bowls – *sigh* – she’s not into the vegetable flavored bits of kibble or biscuits) I HAVE heard that they do need a certain amount of veggie vitamins/antioxidants in their diet – which, I think, is why little Sasha munches on grass (and then throws it up later) I used to know a dog that LOVED apple cores. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Does anyone give their dog(s) fruits or vegetables as treats, and which >types? >Our GR loves carrots and broccoli as well as cherry tomatoes….he especially >loves to pull them off the tomato plants himself. >Linda

Our Irish Setter lives for the moment I find a bird-tasted strawberry (in the garden, not the grocery store!). That’s his treat. He will eat almost anything except melons. Nancy

My dogs eat veggies as part of almost every meal. For some reason they are not as keen on fruit (except sultanas). Carrot sticks either raw or cooked are great as treats. My dogs eat just about any veggies, though I avoid onions – large amounts are not good for them. Sonia

I feed my dogs vegetables for treats, as one of them has been sick and has become overweight. They love carrots, brocolli, cauliflower and asperigus. They like green beans, but have a bit of a hard time eating them. Same thing with red and green bell peppers. Only one of the two dogs liked olives, although I’m not sure it counts as a veggie. Our vet recommended it, and they just love them. I even brought home leftovers from the veggie tray that my parents had at Easter! Meryl Tseng

My Layla loves bananas.
Response:
My Saint will eat any fruit or vegetable that I give her but she _loves_ mango. Of course, at 165# she’ll eat anything but she doesn’t get excited about steak like she does about mangos. Jeff
Response:
My dogs have problems with green beans, too. They love squash, carrots, green peas… almost anything else I give them. But they get the runs with green beans. Be careful with olives… they’re really high in sodium. In moderation, they’re ok… but I don’t think it would be good for them on a regular basis. Lori

My puppy (7 mo) Dante eats any fruit or vegetable. He likes lettuce, carrots, watermelon, apples, beans- amything! I swear that pup eats more fruit and veggies than I do in a given day. We always try to give that as treats instead of the little dog biscuits we gave the older dog, who will not touch anything other than meat, cheese and dog food. (unless it’s hidden in the food!)

Yep! I give my dog green pepper, apple, tomato, carrot and potato. I "de-skin" them remove all the stones or seeds slice them up and serve them as treats or a small meal. He LOVES them!

Every day I make a large salad and while I am cutting up the veggies the dogs are at my feet waiting for morsels. They love all veggies except jalapenos. One even likes raw garlic! They particularly enjoy the center ridge of romaine or similar lettuce and that is what I usually throw out but give to them instead.

My guys get veggies on a regular basis–whatever we’re having except for sauces and butter. And during the summer, I keep a bowl of mixed veggies in the fridge–nice, cool treat. They eat whatever fruit they like–partial to red grapes–can throw them all around and then devour them! Trish
