I don'y know if dogs eat vegetables and fruits. I have a yellow Labrador, where the vet said their skin is very sensitive, so I can't simply give her any food. Sometimes I feel pity for her, because she always likes to share our food, and she only has her dog food to eat. I tried to give her fruits or vegetables, but she didn't seem to like them. She just played a while with the fruits or vegetables I gave her, then just left them there.

My dog likes to eat fruits and vegetables. She likes to eat pineapples and seedless grapes. She also eats carrots and lettuce. But she's a bit picky when it comes to her food though. Sometimes she ignores the food given to her if she doesn't like it specially if she doesn't like the smell. She also doesn't like the smell of sardines. LOL. She also eats butter muffins while laying on her belly. LOL

Hi BlueCupcake, thanks for your response.
So, it seems like some dogs do eat fruits and vegetables. My dog is very picky too, when she was growing to be adult, we changed her dog food from puppy to adult, she refused to eat for quite some time, until we mixed the puppy and adult food together, then only she started to eat. I've tried carrots, but my dog doesn't eat it. lol

My dogs eat all kinds of food all the time including vegetables and fruits. Their main meal consist of rice and meat(chicken/ pork from soup) and we gave them dog biscuits and dog chew as regular snack instead. I also had a dog who loves durian. I had to admit though my dogs are all mixed breed and smaller size type.

For your yellow Labrador, it's important for her to eat the dog food as main meal because it's fortified with minerals and vitamins due to her bigger size. however, you can still feed all kinds of other human food as snack or treats except chocolate, caffeine and a few others that I can't remember(these are actually poison to dogs).

The rule of thumb is whatever that is good for human, is also good for dogs and whatever that's junk for us is twice a junk for dogs.

One of the best way to get your dog to eat fruits is to share it with her ie when you eat apple, bite a bit for her and then a bite for yourself. As for vegetables, I cannot comment since we usually mixed them in their main meal.

Hope this helps.

Hi alexlsp, thanks for your response.
Well, I used to give my dog eat rice and bread, though she likes to eat, her fur started to drop a lot. So, my vet advised us to stop giving this kind of food. As for the fruits, actually it's when I was eating, she kept looking at me and looked interested in the fruit, so I just took a bite for her, but she just played for awhile, and left it.

I hate dog but if it would any how bark is okay for me. I don't think dog like vegetable and food. Vegetable is good for health if you want them to eat, you may need to train them and let them get use to the taste bite.


myLot reputation of 94/100. kaka135 (2906)   ranked 25 out of 9,772 in dogs  1 year ago

Hi Janice_tan021, thanks for your response.
I didn't like dogs either, until I have this dog. lol
I never think I'd have a dog in my house too. Well, actually I just thought if my dog eats vegetables, then she'll have more variety of food, and not only have her dog food all the time.

yes a couple of my dogs love apples. and I have known a Lab that would eat an apple a day. They sometimes also like carrots. And most dogs will eat a salad if it has dressing on or bits of meat and cheese in it. My aunt's dog would eat raw potato skins (as she peeled them for cooking) He loved raw potato.. strange...
I had dos that have eaten strawberry and watermelon.

Hi minx267, thanks for your response.
Perhaps it really depends on individual too? Or I should try giving my dog an apple a day?^_^


myLot reputation of 83/100. minx267 (1610)   ranked 184 out of 9,772 in dogs  1 year ago

Yea, I guess just like people some are picky and some aren't.
I would try slicing up an apple and see if he likes it. It couldn't hurt.. lol

Yes dogs do eat fruits and vegitables. I have three dogs and they like vegitables. They eat cucumber, pumpkin and even some leafy vegitables. They also like potatoes and sweet potatoes. The most favourite my dogs likes is soyabeans. My dogs vet said that it is good for dogs to eat some vegitables. Vet said that eating punpkin reduces tendency of cancer in dogs.

Hi raghwagh, thanks for your response.
Perhaps I should let my dog try pumpkin and potatoes. I've never tried to give those food to her so far.

My dogs will almost eat anything you put in front of them. They're not picky. On the other hand, my neighbor's dogs eat better than most humans. She prepares their dinner along with her own. The have a lot of fruits and veggies. Applesauce is one of their favorites, along with red beets and green beans. I've seen their food dishes look better than my plate of food.


myLot reputation of 94/100. kaka135 (2906)   ranked 25 out of 9,772 in dogs  1 year ago

Hi sanjo0679, thanks for your response.
Yeah, I believe some owners treat their dogs really good. We used to boil lamb steak for our dog. happy My dog seems to be a meat lover....
