So in essence its a waste of time to feed pieces of fruit or veg as treats. It will have far greater benefit if blended and added to food. And while we're on that, it shouldn't be just one type of veg, the best veg for dogs is green leafy veg.  |
as she had so many troubles getting vagas,s tummy back to normal she is being sensible and taking the advice given to her to take it easy on trying the pup out on new foods , this is better than what was happenng before with many different foods allowing poor vagas to have the runs , and yes carrot doesnt fully digest when eaten this way but she was advised to try it as a type of soother for her gums cold from the fridge as i did when our daisy was a pup , it doesnt really matter that most of it will pass through undigested although some of it will , its giving the dog something other than awfull hide chews or doggy treats full of crap to satisfy the chewing urge . i think carrot and apples are a good place to start if she wants to pure it at some point for more of a nutritional reason then that can be done too .
