Feeding Carrot sticks to a dog

I feed one to Marley everyday! They are fine for dogs. I freeze them sometimes too when it is hot!

My tri-ing guy loves carrots.  Not to eat, mind you.  He just likes to chew them up and spit out little orange pieces. 

Mine will not eat raw carrots, but like yours, spits out ornage bits everywhere.  But they do loved cooked.  Wish they would the raw.

We just started feeding Winston frozen carrot sticks.  We give him about half of a full size carrot every day; raw, peeled, and frozen.  He LOVES them . . . a carrot will provide a good half hour to forty five minutes of entertainment for him.  He does eat them and haven't noticed any problems yet.

I'm wondering if eating frozen carrots will help keep his teeth clean?

I feed both of my labs frozen carrots every single day.  They love them.  I've also frozen zucchini and broccoli stalks, and they love those too.  I'm not sure how much they help with the teeth cleaning, but I'm hoping it does a little something.

Thanks, everyone!!  Glad to know the carrots are OK, and the freezing idea is great!

When I need to take in a stool sample from one of my gang I feed that dog a raw carrot the day before.  Then I wait.  The poop in the yard with chunks of orange in it is the winner!!  MAkes my vet laugh every time.

Great crunchy chew toys; very little nutritional value when eaten whole.

OK, that is the most awesome idea. Sure beats following the "victim" around with a baggie. My new super-premium vet distributes these fancy little stool sample mini-canisters with pop tops. I like baggies better because I have to think about it less.

Let's see, that would be problematic for Maggie and Ben, who won't touch raw veggies to save their lives. But my other guys love carrots. I suppose I could mix the chopped carrots with something yummy. . . .

I steam or grind the veggies the dogs get. When I wasn't doing kibble, I used veggies to adjust their stool quality, so to speak. I guess it was the fiber. No more than a tablespoon of veggies could move things along a bit freer if there was a little too much bone material in the particular batch of meaty bones I was using. I'm sad because now Doug the Dog can't have too much of certain veggies - he adores his veggies. Fruit too. Fortunately apples are good for him, and pears too. He'd sit down and eat windfall fruit until he had cleaned up the ground. That was a bit much - I think he just likes to chew - he's a seven year old puppy. []
