Answer 1

My dogs love carrots, if I ever have any leftover carrots I give them to my dogs. They are healthy for them, just like they are healthy for humans. They will be fine!

Answer 2

Carrots and other fruit and veg is absolutely fab for them.

Answer 3

It's alright...just expect the next round of p**p to be a bit softer than usual.  My bichon threw up on a piece of carrot I gave her, which was only a slice the size of a quarter.  Since then, I boil and chew it up for her...no problems since.

Answer 4

Some people deliberately feed their dogs carrot and carrots appear in some commercial dog foods.

It won't hurt them a bit.

Carrots as with many veggies are actually good for dogs providing they don't get stuck in the throat!

You can actually feel good that they got a healthy snack!

Be happy that your dog likes carrots! A lot of dogs wont touch them even though they are good for them. Give them to the dogs as a treat when you feed the horses but cut off the green first.

Answer 8

hehe there fine! its a very healthy snack for them actually. i give them to mine everyday. the crunchiness helps clean the teeth too :)

Answer 9

Carrots are great for dogs!  You have nothing to worry about.  I give carrots twice a day to my 4 dogs as treats - they are full of fiber and help keep their anal glands clear.  I started giving carrots as treats based on a recommendation from my vet.

Carrots are actually really good for dogs, but my dog hates them. Most vegetables are okay for dogs, the trick is getting them to eat it.

well my dog just can't eat meat because then she can't p**p. but my vet said that vegies and fruit are usually ok for dogs, so they should be fine. :)

Answer 16

Carrots actually are very good for their eyes so yes, your dog should be fine.

Answer 17

My dogs eats carrots sometime when she's in the mood.  Wont hurt her a bit.  ood for their eyes really...not supposed to let dogs eat grapes (b/c of something in the seeds) and chocolate (gives them rapid heart rate)...no worries about the carrot though:0)

Answer 18

Carrots are fine.  Green beans are good.  Most veggies are.  Corn is kind of useless (as it is for humans) but won't hurt them.  Onions are bad.  Grapes and cranberries can cause kidney failure.  Avocados make some dogs throw up.  Mine steal pears that fall out of my neighbor's pear tree and one of mine will follow me to the end of the earth for a piece of a peach.  

Answer 19

My dog gets a fresh raw carrot every day as a special treat after a walk or to make him think he's getting some nice sweets when I'm eating sthg he isn't allowed to have. It's in a lot of dog foods these day - my dog gets Chappi, which is known as Pal in other countries - the dry mix contains carrot, and there are tinned varieties with carrots in too. A lot of dogs love them because they like crunchy things, but not all dogs will eat them ofc :)

Answer 20

Carrots are a great treat for most dogs.  But don't be alarmed if you see chunks of it coming through - raw carrots aren't that easily digested.  Roughage man.

Answer 21

Answer 22

We have 6 dogs, 2 middle sized and 4 small..As a supplement to their regular food we also give them any vegetables we leave at dinner..

We have done this for years and our vet says it will do no harm at all, if anything it can only do them good.

Answer 23

the vet told us to feed our dog carrots cause its very healthy and helps her get thin so I wouldnt worry cause its doing them some good

Answer 24

No worries carrots are good for them.  If only I could get my pup to eat them.  I tried and he spits them back out at me.  He prefers green beans.

Answer 25

I have always given my dogs carrots and they love them. It helps to clean their teeth and there is no mess on the carpets.

Answer 26

Hi carrots are good for dogs, apprantly because dogs like chocolate so much which you are not allowed to give them, carrots for some reason taste like chocolate to a dog so its a great alternantive and they love them lol  

Answer 27

there fine!

vegetables are fine for dogs,

its as good for them as it is for us!

Answer 28

Carrots are fine, not to worry. Although if you're worried they might be allergic, watch them closely and if they start acting out of their usual behavior, throwing up, blood in stool, etc, then consult a vet.

Best of luck!

Answer 29

Dogs eat rotten animal guts. A carrot will do nothing to harm them. It might even improve their vision!

Answer 30

Whats all the fuss for a carrot is good for them.

At present one of mine is on a diet and I put a chopped carrot in with her food to replace the dog food she is not getting. This add bulk to her food but does not put weight on. After they have eaten both girls get a carrot to help clean their teeth and ensure they have enough roughage.

If it had been an Onion it would have been a different story.

Answer 31

That's fine. It's actually good for them. Veggies and fruits are good for our animals just like they are for us. You can find them in almost all natural dog foods.
