My doggy is a diabetic and so he needs healthy treats to eat. So, we get him those baby carrots you find at the grocery stores.
The problem is we want to store them in bulk and find a way to reccesitate them. We tried freezing them and defrosting them but they came out too mushy. The dog rejected them and us humans didn't want anything to do with them.
We do want to limit our visits to the grocery store so what would you do if you were in our shoes?

How to harvest and store carrots
You can keep them in sand (see below) - personally, I'd rather keeping going to the store.
Excerpt from article: In the refrigerator, carrots will keep for several months. Just wash, pat them dry and store them in containers or bags with some holes added. For long term storage, pull the carrots from the soil, but don't wash them. Twist or cut off the green tops. Layer undamaged roots with sand, dry soil, or a 50:50 combination of sand and wood shavings (the kind used in hamster cages). Make sure the carrots aren't touching each other and keep them in a cool, dark place.

Rather than defrost them, willl your doggy eat the carrots if they are cooked? If so, will he eat canned carrots? Other than that, I am afraid you will have to make weekly trips to the grocery store.
P.S. Canned green beans are also good for doggies.

Maybe try buying them in bulk, freezing them, but not defrosting. He might like them frozen (some dogs like cold or frozen food) or thawing the next days worth every night in the fridge so you have some for the next day. Other than that I don't know what else to do... good luck!!!

you can dry them on a paper towel and store them in a clean paper towel in the refrigerator some place that they will stay dry they will keep a little longer that's the only way i know

I'd go to a vet and have him give me a prescription dog food

grow your own if you can! this way you know that they don't have chemicals on them & when he runs low, go out & pick more. :)
