HINTS FROM HELOISE
Dear Heloise:
My dog is part vegetarian,
I think! He loves to eat raw broccoli, pea pods, carrots and cauliflower!
— Harriet P. in New York Harriet, celery, brussels sprouts, spinach, zucchini, bean sprouts, squash, green beans ... the list goes on and on, these veggies are considered safe for your dog to eat!
Couple of caveats, cut pieces into small bites to reduce choking risk. Veggies are an OK and healthy snack, but your dog could experience tummy trouble, so watch for that. And when cooking the veggies, avoid spicy seasonings, salts and sauces. Those can lead to more sour stomach.
Avoid giving the following foods to your dog: onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocadoes.
Give potatoes only in very small quantities; they can lead to weight gain. Check with your veterinarian for more information.
