Is raw green cabbage safe for dogs? What other veggies can they eat?

Tomatoes are fine to feed dogs, but the tomatoes have to be ripe. Never feed a green tomato, as they have higher amounts of tomatine, which is harmful to dogs in large amounts. Lettuce is fine as well, but make sure there is no onion on it. Onion is toxic to dogs. I have linked websites that includes foods dogs can never eat: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

Hello there! Luckily, most fruits vegetables are quite healthy for our pets. Here are some you want to avoid: Avocado Onion Garlic Chives Apple cores and seeds (apple slices are ok) The green parts of a tomato (red parts are ok) Cherries (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Apricots (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Grapes and raisins Wild mushrooms (grocery store mushrooms are ok) Currants Green potatoes (cooked, ripe potatoes are ok) Rhubarb I find that many dogs like baby carrots, green beans, and peeled apple slices. I hope this helps!

Yes, you can feed some vegetables in small amounts. Asparagus, Bell peppers (red, green, yellow), Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Green beans, Pumpkin, Sweet potato are all fine to feed to a dog. Do not feed anything with onions or garlic as they can both be toxic to dogs.

The answer is controversial. Spinach is high in some nutrients, but also high in oxalates, which in sufficient amounts, can block the absorption of calcium and can lead to kidney damage. Most experts agree a dog would have to eat a lot for this to happen, but there is no definitive amount or answer as to how much is too much. Dogs don't require vegetables, but they do sometimes enjoy them. I would ask the advice of your vet about feeding your dog spinach. If they don't have a problem with it, you will have to prepare it especially for your dog for him to obtain the most benefit from it. It should be chopped fine, since dogs intestines are not made to process vegetable matter the same way we are. It should be steamed with nothing added to it at all, no salt, spices, or butter. Boiled spinach has lost much of its nutrition, and raw spinach is too hard for them to digest. Small, infrequent amounts are okay, only if your dog's kidneys are healthy.

Great question! I will give you links to websites that list foods Oscar can never have, and food that he can have on occasion. It's not recommended to give him too much human food, as that can lead to obesity, which then leads to heart problems, diabetes, and joint problems. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

Most fruits and vegetables are fine. You need to avoid grapes, raisins, onions, garlic or any fruits/veggies that are within these families. I would recommend green beans, peas, carrots, apples, bananas, sweet potato, lettuce and zucchini. Please post again if you have any further questions about Cookie!

Hello. Dogs are definitely omnivores & can digest grains & vegetables just fine. Many pets enjoy chewing on raw carrots, but a little processing will not hurt with any vegetable. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
