I am wanting to give my BC fruit/veg as treats but I am unsure which he can/cannot have and what amounts. Usually, I will have in the house some of the following, so which can I give him???
Carrots - he loves these
Broccolli, Greens, Apple, Banana (do you have to skin these), Pear, Grapes, Kiwi, Parsnips, Nectarines, Strawberries, Oranges (do you have to skin these??), sweet potato, mango.

Is there a list of these anywhere or can you give me ideas of any more fruits or veg that he would like??

I am watching for the answers as although I now know that you should not under any circumstances give grapes in any form i.e. sultanas or fresh just about any other fruit and veg goes as far as I understand it.  People say that unless veg is chopped small or puree the dog won't benefit from the nutrients.  However, I give whole carrots as a treat because she enjoys the chewing and although doesn't benefit from the nutrients she still enjoys them.  usually I give carrot tops and brocolli stalks and heads.  Any leftover cooked veg.  She likes applies and pears and I give these whole and I also give her tiny pieces of citrus because not sure how much to give.  She loves cucumber and happily eats just about anything I give her.

my dog loves a cherry tomatoe- she rolls it around then bursts it in her mouth before licking the juice out- then eating the rest!!
also keen on banana, cooked potatoe/sweet potatoe, occasional orange segments, sprouts! anything really- obviously i dont give grapes/sultanas, i also dont like her eating onion or garlic, or fennel- dont know why, just feel they are quite strong?!

but try her with a cherry tomatoe- make sure you give it her on tiled/lino floor!

Thanks. Yes Tiled floor is a definate. I gave him a bit of banana for the first time the other day and I think that he thought it was still alive and needed killing so gave it a good dive and roll Ended up all over him :rolleyes:

Onions are a big no no as they are poisonous to dogs.

Advice - Don't give too many brussels. I speak from experience, the evening was, shall we say, unpleasant and the next day she was was squitzy if you get my drift

A good rule of thumb, if you don't know, is to stay away from things with seeds.  If you want to do a bit of research instead, look up toxic foods for dogs and you'll come up with several lists.  :)

Our pup loves a cherry tomatoe too, he would play with it flicking it about for 5min and would then burst it in his mouth. He also loves chewing a raw carrot, cucumber, apple, banana, peach, but I have not given him any greens yet.
I gave him once cooked veg carrots, peas, potatoes and he suffered terrible wind; not at all pleasant and he had the runs the next day!
I asked out vet once and he said any fruit and veg is fine in moderations.Obviously apart from the grapes, onions etc.
I know soya can give them bad wind too.

Hi, fruit and veg are great for dogs in small quantities, they would often pick them themselves in the wild and certainly mine have always gone blackberrying with me with a vengeance and enjoy fallen fruit.

Many dogs do not like citrus fruit, if they do, I would probably avoid the skin.................
My dogs eat bananas skin and all

Steer clear of:

Onions
Grapes
Raisins
Avocados

Many people feed these with no problems whatsoever, others have not been so lucky.

If you are feeding fruit and veg as treats then you really do not have to worry too much about quantities, if you are feeding them as part of the diet then care needs to be taken with cruciferous veg and those that contain oxalic acid.

HTH

We used to have a strawberry patch when I was a teenager but thanks to our Keeshond we never saw a berry - and it was a pretty large patch in southern California. SHe was always out there sniffing for the best, ripest berries. Too much fruit can give some dogs diarrhea.

You want to be careful..... you'll start feeding him "proper" food soon ;) :D

I wondered when you would reply
How contraversial!!!
You'll be giving yourself a name ...... like Doff ...... starting arguments like that ;-) :-D

:D Gotta keep you guessing ;)

Besides, I made sure tormenting you was written into the contract the day you were born Girl - and don't forget it! LOL

How on earth could I forget that :rolleyes:

BUT you are supposed to be being nice to me or I might just develop a limp in time for Thursday :-D ;-)

You are going in that ring come hell or high water!!!

And you're going to WIN :D :P

No pressure then!!!!
