What fruit does your dog eat? (Veggies too)

    • Gold Top Dog

    Kord will eat just about anything. He is never offered onions or grapes, but is tempted with just about everything else. Lettuce would be his least favorite. In fruits, well lets just say if I make a banana cream pie or strawberry shortcake, I either have to lock him in another room or make sure he gets a piece.

    I grow my own veggies and some fruits in the summer, and I take him with me, and it never fails that he swipes something off a vine to snack on.

    My girls are not really crazy about rae veggies but will eat almost any one that is cooked.  They do like waermelon and cateloup.  my last irish setter seemed to prefer fruit and veggies to meat and he would eat all the tomatoes, the squash and most of the green peppers right off the viens in my garden!

     Gunnar loves any fruit and veggie and I have yet to see one he will not eat. he has eaten onion and jalepeno peppers.

     He loves carrots

     He loves grapes (I do not allow him to have them, but he begs for them).

    He eats oranges and even a piece of lemon once.

    I think with him if he sees a person eating it he assumes it is good and eats it.

     Hektor likes carrots and apples but will spit out an orange and has no interest in an onion or a pepper.

     With Crusher its all about obligation.  At least he seems to think so.  There are some things he definitely enjoys like apples and pears.  But others, you can tell he really doesn't want to eat the but feels he must.  He will take a green pepper out of my hand, roll it around in his mouth for a bit, spit it out, pick it up, chew it a bit, spit it back out then finally he'll just gulp it down to get rid of it.  Onyx gulps off the get go, so it appears she loves everything, but you see something register in her face after the food goes down and she won't even look at you for a long time afterwards.  ''Don't look, she might make me eat another mushroom...don't look''  My dogs are so funny.

    Bananas, bananas, bananas! LOL Sometimes apples or strawberries, and the occasional grape. Also, carrots, carrots, carrots (baby or peeled, raw or cooked). Green beans and red potatoes (cooked).

    Do apples last longer frozen? Well for chewing that is, one apple will last Shailer seconds.

    I give Niko, my spoiled yellow lab, almost anything except for onions, grapes, and chocolates. When I give fruits and veggies, I give in moderation and stick to those with plenty of vitamins, enzymes, and etc... like blueberries, strawberries, papayas, pineapples, brocolli, green beans, apples, red bell peppers, cantaloupes, carrots, and etc. 

    With apple slices, I don't give him the seeds.  Papayas, pineapples, and blueberries are the three fruits I like give my lab (and myself).  I grew up eating a lot of papayas and pineapples and my mom used to feed them to me and told me that it was good for digestion.  Now that I am older, I am realizing that my mom was right........ papayas and pineapples have a lot of digestive enzymes.

     

    P.S. -  I have given my lab a frozen apple.  I took the apple core out (to remove the seeds), then I put Laura Scudder's peanut butter inside the apple and then freeze it for a couple of hours.  Laura Scudder's peanut butter is very plain and no salt added (for myself, I personally prefer Jiff......haha...but for my dog, I got him Laura Scudder's one because it has no preservative and no salt added).

    My kids are on a home cooked diet so they eat an array of vegetables and fruits.  Apples, pears, melon, blueberries, green beans, wax beans, cauliflower, brocolli, spinach, squash, peas (few and seldom) carrots (few and seldom), parsley, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and kale.

    We avoid the peas and carrots because the natural carbohydrates in the peas and the sugar in the carrots.  It goes into their blood stream as pure sugar and makes them hyper.

    It's funny that I should find this thread, as Honor's new favorite trick is snitching food from the rabbits.  She'll wait until one of them pushes a bit of veggie to the corner of the x-pen, and she'll immediately pull it out and eat it.  She'll eat whatever the buns have, which can include: carrots (she LOVES them), parsley, romaine, dandelion leaves, mustard greens, kale, spinach, or broccoli.  Honor completely geeks for carrots and any fruit, as she definitely has a sweet tooth.

     You guys are soooooo very lucky! I have tried every fruit and veg imaginable and none of them take my dogs fancy SadThey will eat cooked pumpkin,carrot etc if i mix it into their food,but on their own...No way. I would love it if they would eat blueberries,papaya and stuff like that for all of their great health benefits.But alas it's not to be.
