Carrots
Yes
that right, you can give fresh, cooked and uncooked carrots to your Westie,
they are especially good when given uncooked, crunchy and helps keep the
teeth and gums clean. The good news is that carrots and not manufactured,
they grow in the ground !!
Dogs (and humans) need protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and
minerals. Too much or too little of any may cause problems such as obesity,
malnourishment, or even vitamin or mineral toxicity.
Types of Vegetables, we could divide these up into two categories,
they are called high glycemic (sugars) and low glycemic.
Glycemic Vegetables
Dark leafy greens, Summer squash, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussels
Sprouts, Green Beans, Cucumber, Celery.
High Glycemic Vegetables
Carrots, Winter Squash (hard rind squashes), Green Peas, Potatoes (very
high), Parsnips, Rutabagas, Corn, Beets, Sweet Potatoes
So.. You can give carrots occasionally as treats, but don't go overboard
