If your dog likes them and you use them as a treat only then no harm. Baby carrots would be much better. It incourages chewing, helps them with plac on teeth, good for there coat and if youd read the ingredients of your dog food you more then likely see carrots as one of the ingredients. I work for a vet and this is what we recommend. If it is a hot pepper,we advise not.

You would expect that simply eating a pepper would seem less than delectable, but you'd be amazed at what dogs will eat. Generally, they can and will eat just about anything.
My Labs were constantly getting into the garden. Peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, asparagus, and on. My father mixed up horse radish, very hot peppers, and I don't know what else to try and keep the dogs out, believing the smell and/or taste would repulse them. The dogs literally licked the mixture off the spoon as my father was applying it.

They can, but remember the oils are burning the mouth, tongue and throat. My dog eats bell peppers all the time, those don't burn nearly as much as say a habenaro or dundicut pepper.
It makes them fart a lot though, so if you don't mind dog farts go ahead but I wouldn't make it a daily routine. Its more when she sneaks one from a pizza or one falls on the ground when we are grilling out.

I would say no. This is something that they definitely would not eat in the wild. It's just not natural. Although the over processed dog food that we feed them nowadays probably isn't natural either.

Probably green peppers, but not jalapenos or habranaro's. I bet it would prefer a Strip Steak.....He told me to tell you that...Have a great day...

If a dog lived off the land he'd probably eat them if he liked them. I wouldn't eat them - I don't like them.

No. Stick with dog food.

No onions, chocolate, or spicey/salty food. If you must give human food give things like carrots, frozen peas, etc that are used for treats.
