Do you know if it is safe for dogs to eat vegtables?

Question

I have a belgian sheepdog, and he really likes some vegtables. I just want to make sure I'm not hurting him.

Answer 1

We had a dog that loved to eat watermelons and our dogs that we have now they love to eat vegtables.

Answer 2

A lot of people feed their dogs veggies. The only negative that can come from feeding veggies is some gas. Other than that most dogs enjoy them.
I work with dogs at a daycare and boarding facility and owners feed their dogs all sorts of vegetables and fruits. The most popular is green beans. Especially for those dogs needing to lose a bit of weight.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY!! They use carrots ,peas and corn in dog food. But moderation is key.
Many of you are wondering if a vegetarian or vegan diet might be appropriate for your animal friends. Fortunately, your dogs can be vegetarians! Vegetarian Dogs provides answers and gives directions to easily purchase (see resources) or prepare a healthy meal.
The book will teach you about canine nutrition, ethics, exercise, and healthcare. Equally important, the relationship between dogs and people is nourished and enriched through the beautiful images and related stories.
There is no scientifically known reason why dogs cannot live full, healthy lives on a vegan diet. Furthermore, a homemade or commercial vegetarian food can avoid the potentially detrimental health effects of many meat-based commercial foods.
Some suggest more widespread benefits: "Dogs would benefit in health and temperament worldwide....Such a diet would also greatly reduce the risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, and other common diseases and disorders."--Michael W. Fox, D.V.M.

Dogs most certainly can have vegetables! In fact, many holistic diets for dogs include lots of vegetables and even salmon. Try Solid Gold brand if you find that your pup really enjoys his veggies. It's a tad more expensive than Kibbles n Bits, but much healthier. Plus, your dog will be happier :)

Answer 5

I believe that if your dog has already ate them, and there were no side affects, then I think he should be alright. It very much depends on the vegetables. Some dogs have allergies to different foods.

Answer 6

Yes dogs can eat mostly any kind of vegetable. Be careful of frutis because of the amount of sugar in them. My dogs love carrots. You can also ask your vet just in case of allergies. If they are not allergic to it, peanut butter and celery in a kong toy is awesome. They love it.

Answer 7

Vegetables are perfectly fine and most dog foods of high quality contain them.
Just stay away from onions and grapes.

Answer 8

I would think that it is just fine for them, a lot of dog foods on the market have vegs. in them. I have a long-haired Doxie and Yorkie mix and I give her vegs. and fruit. She loves broccoli,carrots and strawberries. I don't give them to her everyday, that may be too often, but once in awhile seems to be okay for her.

Answer 9

Vegetables & Fruits are just about the healtiest food a dog can eat.
Feed your dog vegetables & fruits as much as you want.
P.S : Don't feed your dog grapes, onions or garlic their poisenes.

Answer 10

Of course it's safe to feed vegetables. Fruit is good for them too. There are lists all over the internet that tell you what to avoid..
