What fruits and vegetables are safe for my 9-week-old puppy?

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 and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Dogs can have fruits and vegetables and in particular some vegetables are good for teeth and digestion, like pumpkin or squash. Fruits that are good for dogs are apples, bananas, strawberries. Avoid any fruit that has pits as these can cause obstructions (peaches, nectarines, plums, etc). Avoid garlic, onions, grapes, raisins and chocolate- these are all very toxic to dogs. Carrots, cucumber, celery, broccoli, are all good as well. Best of luck with Toffee.

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.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Jelly is so cute! She looks like an appropriate body condition so far, and since she is only 4 months old it is hard to know how big she will ultimately get. I recommend feeding her a normal puppy dry dog food, and feeding the recommended amount on the bag for her weight. It is safe to add in vegetables such as peas, carrots, broccoli, etc - but NO onions or garlic. Most fruits are safe too, such a berries, bananas, watermelon, etc. Hard boiled eggs are safe, but they are high in cholesterol so I wouldn't feed her more than 1/2 per day. Please keep in mind that a good quality puppy diet on its own will have ALL the nutrients and vitamins that she needs to grow appropriately, so it is not necessary to add in extra food. In fact, this could actually cause her to grow too quickly and become overweight, which can cause extra strain on the joints and predispose her to boney issues in the future. I hope this is helpful!

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!

Banana is fine to give Buddy as an occasional treat, but I would not give it to him daily. It's most important that his diet consists of a puppy formulated food so he grows properly. I will put a link below that lists fruits that are safe to give him as an occasional treat (one or twice a week in small amounts). I hope this helps! http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

People food and veggies are fine as a treat in moderation, however Nala Jai should be on a balanced puppy diet at this point in time to help her grow and stay healthy. Several brands are available that are great such as Science Diet, Purina, Eukanuba, etc, and many offer puppy formulations specific to your dog's breed, age, and size. Fresh veggies such as a piece of carrot, broccoli or some lean chicken are all great as treats, but should be used in moderation and not as the primary diet.
