Guidelines for Feeding Fruits & Vegetables
*Feed in small, dime-sized portions.
*With any dietary change, begin slowly and feed sparingly.
*Wash and scrub fruits and vegetables before feeding.
*Never feed seasoned or salted foods to your dog, and never feed fruits dressed in sugar or syrup.
*Do not feed canned vegetables. Canned vegetables often have a high sodium content, and can cause salt poisoning, a deadly condition in dogs.
*Never feed dirty, spoiled, moldy, or old food to your dog.
*Finely-chop portions.
*Baked & mashed sweet potatoes are an excellent “stuffing” for Kong brand toys.
*Cook dog-friendly fruits and vegetables lightly, until tender, with ½ Tablespoon of lean meat (try ground turkey) to increase palatability. If your dog is not keen on carrots raw, he will probably love them cooked with a little broth.
*Remember: a little portion (to you) is a lot for your dog
