Two of our dogs love potatoes too! They will do anything for them, we have to stash them away or they will rip the whole bag open! We cant even put the peelings into the kitchen bin or they will have it over to get them out! They dont get that bad over anything else just spuds so its quite funny actually. Of course they do eat their normal dog food or they wouldnt be the happy healthy dogs they are today. The other thing all four of my dogs love is chocolate, they just love the smell and just know when youve got some on you. Ive heard that chocolate isnt good for them so we dont give them much. Good discussion i thought it was just my dogs with this weird obsession!

loneraver hi just wanted to really warn you,chocolate is not not just good for dogs it contains bromines that are deadly toxic for dogs, they cannot digest it and it poisons them.

wow then your dog is almost a vegetarian, he he. but I will bet she is a very healthy dog. When I had a dog she did like potatoes and apples too but she never showed any interest in carrots. maybe some dogs are just smarter than we give them credit for too. My dog would worry around any leftover apple or even the core trying to get the sweet flesh off it I guess. Imiss not having a pet. But in order to have a small dog here at Gold Crest I would have to pay onehundred dollars more which I do not have.

That sucks, Hatley! A well-trained pet won't do much damage at all to an apt. Even a cat that sticks to the box and stratching post won't do damage. Really wish you could have either a small dog or a cat. :-(

No,my dogs can eat apples yes. They can eat Sweet potato but not potato itself. I guess when they saw their master eating some food they want to try it also. My dogs eat chocolate, eat candies, they eat chips, biscuit , bread , even oatmeal. i don't know what happen to my dogs, they are now acting as human LOL.

Mine like carrots, but they will not eat raw potatoes, If i have left over soup, or stew i will put some of it on top of their food and they usually eat it up.

I don't have a dog but be careful of what people food you give him, ask your vet what is good for him because not all people food is.

I used to feed our other dog just about anything we ate until I seen that it as not a good thing for us to do. He would eat raw vegetables also. He got to where he would not eat dog food and that was not too good either. It is good if your dog still eats regular dog food too though but be careful with table scraps.

Well jugsjugs..I used to have 2 full Labs that LOVED berries and would literally help themselves to blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, mulberries, strawberries, grapes, tomatoes and anything else that was growing in the orchard or in the woods around us. Our current dog, Domingo, likes raw carrots, bananas, apples, mulberries, raspberries, blackberries if he can find them, and lord knows what else he sneaks out of the garden or the surrounding woods. A neighbor once told me she caught him sneaking into her garden one early morning for green beans and corn. Least they know what's good for them.

well, not the dogs, but we've had some cats that like veggies Jool, the kitten we placed about a month ago, loved winter squashes and some other veggies. Timus likes tomatoes so much, he'll go after salsa - mild, but still salsa

I don't have a dog now but when I did i had one of the best dogs I have ever had. He was a Blue Heeler and was a stud used to upgrade the breed. He was smart as a whip and would eat anything. He had a woman at the near by convenience store that would save out dated burritos for him. Alot of stories about him. He got old though and we finally felt a need to put him down due to his not being able to get around anymore. He was a dear friend and I miss him dearly.

My dogs are buck wild over potato peelings. I can't peel potatoes into the garbage can or compost bin. They demand they fall right to the floor and they see who can gobble them up the fastest. I also like to give the super sized deer bait carrots to them.... outside!

I do not have a dog but my best friends dog loves fresh veggies. If she is peeling potatoes she will have to give him some as he goes crazy! Also whenever you go into the fridge for milk etc he thinks you are getting him a carrot and runs from wherever he is to come get it.

I think we've fed our dog lettuce before but I honestly am not sure if they like anything else or not. Now they've had corn I am pretty certain, but that was cooked. Most of the things we give them are meat. They are chihuahuas.

I think that's great :)) I never had a dog do that, but when I was child, I had a cat who would go into the garden and eat tomatoes or sweet corn. She was the only one of them who did that! Karen

My dogs eat raw vegetables. They like the leafy types but they also eat the ones without leaves. Sometimes, during the summer months, we cut up carrot sticks and store them in the freezer because they also happen to like "iced" stuff. They quite enjoy it and it's a lot healthier than processed dog treats.
