Kirislin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 :D Mine have a very wide ranging palate, I think they're probably more adventurous than alot of people. Here Pucks stolen Pagans carrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydoo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Good to see they leave clean seeds behind Kirislin! The only vegetable I've seen Billie spit out is raw mushroom. Fruit is all go. Nectarines and grape tomatoes are particular favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCTRL Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I gave Arby some capsicum the other day, wasn't interested (and he lovvvvves food!) He enjoys his frozen raspberries though... maybe he just has a sweet tooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeimMe Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Beautiful photos Kirislin! My girl loves pears - especially the cores. Not that fussed on other fruit and veg really, but has a bit of a carb obsession - toast in particular. I remember reading somewhere that the reason that dogs should not eat grapes isn't because of the fruit itself, it's the sulfides that they use on them to help them keep better in the stores/transit. Sultanas and other dried fruit can be worse as they contain sulfides in higher levels. *edited because I can't spell "sulfides"!

Nutritionally rich vegetable. The vet told me that he often recommends it for the diets of dogs that have skin conditions. Mine don't. But since I've added sweet potato, the groomer has asked me what am I feeding my girls, because of the healthy state of their fur. Mita, do you cook it or grate it into their food raw? I dice the sweet potato and cook it in the microwave. It's a staple part of their main meal every day. I also keep some of those cooked dices in the fridge. The girls will eat them like treats.

huski Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It would be easier to ask what veges and fruit my dogs don't like! They'd eat anything! They had broccoli tonight and roast pumpkin the other night which they went nuts for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Pretty much anything we eat except tomatoes and lettuce. Weirdo dog was at a bbq on the weekend with us and my brother who doesn't eat olives had some on his plate. He fed them to the dog happily :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNerd Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 So I tried Barney with lettuce tonight, he took it, spat it out on my leg, saw it and ate it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temperamentfirst Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just about any vegies and fruit, except lettuce. One dog was a real problem - she stole mangoes and avocados. Peeled the avocado and stained the carpets. Buried the mango peel and stone under the couch cushions, so for a while I thought I was mad as the mangoes kept disappearing.

minimax Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 My pug pretty much loves everything except lettuce and cucumber. I think they are too watery/tasteless for her because if I dip cucumber into peanut butter she will eat it lol I usually take a carrot out with us if I go to a cafe or something and she will quietly sit under the table and munch away. People are usually amazed that she's eating a carrot and it makes me wonder if people don't generally feed their dogs veggies or fruit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCheekyMonster Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Gus will eat everything, and anything he can get his paw on... so far, carrot, pear, bannana, lettus, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, squash has tried and loved them all.

ESCS Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Does popcorn count as a vegetable?!!! Mita introduced us to sweet potato and both our tibbies eat it. I'm not sure they love it but it has done wonders for our tibbie's skin allergies and stomach ailments. I also feed brocoli, carrot and peas which they tolerate but I don't think we have dogs that love veggies and fruit ( a bit like our kids!).

BJ. Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I keep our fruit in a roll top bread bin or Nash (GSP) will steal it. He eats anything that we do, favourite treat for all the dogs is the stem from the broccoli. Jester (basset) is not too sure about some things but if Nash will eat it he will too. Nash will also forage so now my parents have put their vegie patch behind a fence. He is quiet happy to pick his own tomatoes, peas, lettuce etc for himself. He even nibbles Mums curry bush.

Kirislin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I often wonder about the prey diet some people put their dogs on, is it meat only because this thread proves dogs eat alot more than just meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thought of dogs just eating meat is very primal....dogs have access to every food under the sun now... back in the day im not so sure they had ready access to carrots and pears :) meat would be the only thing running around.... I think this thread confirms that dogs like fruits and veggies a lot more then we do!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
