Dogs & Apples

[Guest guest]

There has been quite a bit of discussion about this and I could not help but add

my opinion. I don't think it hurts to supplement a dog's diet with some fruit

and veggies. I never really thought about it until we adopted Bailey, a 6

year-old golden retriever. He seemed to hover anytime that I fixed fruit or

veggies and then I caught him stealing cucumber peelings from the top of the

trash can. That is the only thing he has ever taken. I finally figured out

that he must have been owned by a vegetarian before. He will sit at attention

until he gets a leaf of romaine lettuce, a carrot, etc. Now, when I pull out my

apple peeler, both of my dogs come and sit at attention and wait to get the

apple peel as I am pulling it off. As soon as I put the peeler down, they know

that they got their little snack and they lay down or wander off. Neither of

the dogs hover like that when I am fixing meat for my hubby. They only beg for

veggies and fruits. They like lettuce, carrots, pineapple, strawberries, green

beans, peas, etc. I don't give them very much, but just supplement their

Natural Choice dry dog food. I think their favorite thing is the stalks from

broccoli, believe it or not. Both dogs are very healthy and they look great.
