If you’re like many pet owners, you probably enjoy sharing a snack with your pup every now and again. You’ve probably told to feed your dog healthy snacks like various fruits or veggies. You should always ask your vet before feeding your dog fruits and veggies as there are some that can be harmful. For instance grapes are toxic as are onions. Carrots are generally safe to feed your dog in small amounts, but be aware that carrots are high in carbohydrates or sugars. Check with your vet before opting to feed your pup a carrot. If your dog has blood sugar problems (i.e. diabetes) or has been known to have bladder stones in the past then you should not feed carrots. Carrots can actually contribute to raising blood sugar levels. Carrots can also contribute to forming bladder stones. Talk with your veterinary clinic Bolingbrook, IL to learn more.
