1. My dogs love raw carrots and peas

and beans and broccoli and cauliflower and tomatoes and zucchini and asparagus. Raw or cooked.

The only concern I'd have about carrots is potential choking hazard. I give mine baby carrots because they are small dogs.

And then lay down with the little carrots between his massive paws and nibble daintily away. It was hard for my grandma to be mad when he was so cute.

My aussie loves them. At our old house, she had access to our garden in the back. She would carefully pluck raspberries off the canes and eat them. Any of em within her reach were hers.

Other than that, I don't know of a reason why dogs shouldn't eat them. I've known dogs who loved them.

Better than snausages and those kinds of treats.

11. Rocky, aka "Mr. Grumbles" loves carrots

he has always liked them, but yesterday he was just going bonkers for the carrots. We chop up the baby ones and he crunches them just like dry dog food.

The vet says he is a little over weight
