| Vegetables and fruit
What are fruits and veggies that are considered safe for dogs? I've fed a few apples as treats for Eddie when I train and he seems to be fine. Of course, no seeds, core, or stem as I know they are pretty bad. I also want to know who else feeds their dog fruits and veggies. |

| Mine will often get little pieces of fruit and veggies when I eat them!
Apple, Pear, bananna, carrots, green beans, lettuce and broccoli are all fine!
As far bad/poisenous fruits and veggies all I can think of are grapes/rasins,fruit cores and pits, onions, and raw garlic (large amounts). I'm sure there are more, but thats just what comes to mind! | |

| My dog loves veggies and fruits and most dogs do too. Her favorite is banana  She doesn't like citrus fruits though. As kmes mentioned above most fruits/veggies are okay to give as healthy treats.

| Avacado, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, tomato (stems and leaves) and macademia nuts are all toxic. Grapes and raisins are unknown/variable quantities are toxic.
Mikey loves all berries, banana and carrots. He'll eat lettuce if that's what the bunnies are getting as he wants what they get. | |

| I feed both my girls pineapple (they love it and it helps with no poo eating; gross, I know.)
Canned pumpkin, green beans, peas, etc. (all fiber and great for firming stools). My golden also ate carrots when she was teething.
Most fruits and veggies are great for dogs but everything in moderation. | |
