Red cabbage is great - look up the nutrition data online - plus plenty of fiber. Yup, big time gas will be imminant if you feed it. Green/white cabbage is lots of good fiber - don't knock fiber as the dog foods go to a lot of trouble to put fiber in their foods. A feeding every so often, if you can stand the aftershocks [

If YOU eat cabbage rolls regularly, many dogs will get used to the cabbage and gas will be minimal soon. Particularly if you add other fibrous veggies also, for variety (steamed and if possible, pureed in the food processor). Don't go crazy, any more than a tablespoon every other day is not really useful. Your mileage may vary.
