Ok, I feed my dog Mystique regular balance dog food...Sometimes I add like alittle treat into her food, but is there any ok veggies i can put in her food? I know beans and tomatos are really bad for dogs, but what can I feed her for a veggie? Oh and what meat can I feed her, because I have looked on the internet and one website says this and one website say oh no thats bad...


So my main question here is:

What meat and veggies are ok for me to feed to my dog and how do I prepare the food???

Thank you very much!!!

Brooke and Mystique

If you are feeding a high quality food you are much better off with just the dog food. Is she not eating? Why do you want to add stuff to her food?

Adding extra things to a dog's food can create a fussy, picky eater... something you do NOT want! Just stick with the dry dog food and ad some water to it.

What kind of dog food do you feed?


If you want to do a home made diet you need to RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH and meet with your vet and a canine nutritionest to make sure you are not hurting your dog by feeding the wrong foods or the wrong balance of nutrients!

Orangedog,

But that is why we love our little children.

MystiqueMyBaby,

We also add a little extra to their food and yes it can make them picky eaters. However, try this as it works well for us and makes them happy. Our pups always want more after eating and those little wanting eyes really tear into the Wife, but not me (RIGHT!).

Anyhow, we give our pups (we call them pups but they are 7 years old and 70 Lbs.) the little baby carrots as they are crunchy and they love that. We will also give them a good Red Delicious apple (cored and sliced of course) and they love it too. Naturally you don't want to give them too much but they make nice healthy snacks for them after eating and do get them to perk up those hungry little eyes. Make sure you wash any fruit or vegetable before giving it to them. We were actually given these suggestions by a very good country Vet who also feeds his pure breed dogs carrots and apples.

I can't agree more to this post!
Excatly what i do to my puppy (except my puppy is 8 weeks )

HI,

Being my pet is diabetic she gets chopped green beans and chopped brocolli with her food, green beans for treats, you can always add a little chopped veg's to their food, not alot, even the cooked ones, yep the beans and tomatoes you don't want, my one dog got sick with tomatoes, some can tolerate them some can't, some use a baby tomato, lil bits of carrots are ok, I can't use them because of the high sugar content.

I feed Orijen, and you can always look on Itchmo about foods, lots of info there.
