    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Any body else give fruits and vegetables as snacks.

Bella has bin eating fruits and vegetables since the day we got her. She really likes frozen carrots especially when she was teething.

Mine eats them on her own, she likes mangos, guavas, and any other seasonal fruits that falls from the trees around our house.

Kryten loves veggies and some fruits. His favorite is kale but it is impossible to eat an apple without an audience.

If I eat lettuce they eat lettuce. Favorite around here are potatoes, peels, pieces or whole. Tomatoes, carrots, frozen green beans, cantaloupe, a couple bulk on banana but they eat just about anything fresh.

My dogs eat cucumber and carrots in vegggies. I also give fruits like papaya, apple, banana in small amounts. One type of fruit everyday.
Sometimes they eat baked sweet potato but my girl make it a mess while eating it.

Cruiser eats pretty much all fruits and veggies. They were fantastic when frozen for teething!

Boone prefers veggies to meat! One crazy dog I have... But yeah, anything except for strict "No"'s (like onion, garlic, avocado, grape etc) goes... He loves everything! I barely have any veggie waste at home

Denna also will eat, or at least taste, anything you put in front of her. If I'm eating it, she wants it!

Staples are: sweet potato, carrot, broccoli (especially frozen stems), apples, bananas, berries (she stripped by raspberry bush this year)... and anything else we might have in the fridge.

My big guy wants nothing to do with fruits or veggies. My little Yorkshire will eat it all though. Her favorites are carrots, apples and cabbage

Jake loves his veggies. I can't make a salad without him at my feet. All are his favorites! Peas are so much fun to watch him try to eat, that's about the only thing that takes him a long time to eat. We never have leftover veggies to throw out anymore, he will eat them all whether they are cooked or raw.

I do not use plant matter for my dogs. There is no nutritional value in it for a dog unless it has been frozen or pulverized. Some use it as a treat because the dogs enjoy it and that's cool if you want to do that but to me any food that sits in the gut and ferments I consider bloat dangerous and avoid.

As for potatoes you should not give a dog any nightshade plant matter (Potato). Especially raw stuff.

[h=3]Dangers for Dogs and Potatoes[/h] Potato poisonings among people and dogs have occurred. Solanum alkaloids can be found in green sprouts and green potato skins, which occur when the tubers are exposed to sunlight during growth or after harvest. The relatively rare occurrence of actual poisoning is due to several factors: solanine is poorly absorbed; it is mostly hydrolyzed into less toxic solanidinel; and the metabolites are quickly eliminated. Note that cooked, mashed potatoes are fine for dogs, actually quite nutritious and digestible.

I mix pumpkin or plain yogurt in with Tess' food every morning...all good for the belly. She LOVES it. She normally will sit at my feet while I prepare her food, but if I pull out the pumpkin or yogurt, she goes between sitting and whimpering to jumping and barking. I also feed her apple, carrots, homemade dried pineapple and banana. She just recently tried strawberries and seems to like that, too. My last mastiff wouldn't eat any fruits or veggies. She would just politely take what I handed her and when I turned my back, she would drop it on the floor and pretend like she didn't know how it got there.
