I need ideas on two things
Two:I have been feeding my dogs the green bean diet on my never ending quest to keep them at an ideal weight. Gar is doing pretty well. He is around 70lbs and you don't have to dig to feel his ribs. Simon on the other hand is my little butterball. At last weigh in he was 73lbs and you can find his ribs under a slight layer of fat. He's my agility dog so he needs to lose about 5lbs(or more). For breakfast they get a scoop of regular food and for dinner its half food and half green beans. They LOVE it. My dh on the other thinks they need variety in food. So my question is: are canned cut up carrots ok? Is half a can of carrots too much? Will it cause stomach upset? |

| I don't know about canned carrots but our dogs love cut up raw carrots. I am trying to vary their food some too so trying different taste of the wild food. |
| my duffy is on big fatty boy i need to try the green beans can or frozen?/ |
| One: A long necklace. You can probably find a good one around $10. I just got one from Ann Taylor on sale it was 6.99 and awesome! Two: Can't help with two, sorry. I only feed unsalted green beans as a food supplement. |
1) Nice necklace or pretty scarf...  2) Can't help with that one...  |
You saw Frankie at the picnic. He's slim and trim(unlike his momma)  He gets 1 cup dry dog food and one cup frozen then microwaved green beans, mixed with a spoonful of pumpkin twice a day. he stays between 65-68 lbs. It has really seemed to work. Lisa and Frankie |
| Broccoli and cauliflower are favorites here... along with zucchini and summer squash. Though I don't think it should be used for the under $10 gift idea. |
Maybe you know she's really into books and you can get her something special? personalized ornament? I have no idea but I love ann taylor anything.  |
| I think carrots might have too much sugar. If you want to feed canned...maybe compare the # of calories between the green beans and the carrots. |
| gloves, I'm looking all over for mine. I love the cheapies at Target. As for tubbo......carrots are fine as are summer squash, broccoli, winter squash (but higher in calories). I would not give onions, garlic, not too much broccoli or cabbage (gas problems). You can also try the puppy trick of putting a large rock or large can in their bowl so they have to slow down to eat. That way you can cut back by a 1/4 cup for the "fluffy" one. Jack would just as easily have a carrot to munch than a dog cookie. Save calories too. |
| I second the pretty scarf idea. You can never have too many pretty scarves. Or is that just a Canadian thing, to make us think that there is something remotely good about winter? |
| Our dogs have Eat Slow Bowls. We call them the No Dog Fart Bowls. They definitely slow them down when they eat. Maybe just food and slow it down. That's what we did with Kendra. She was upset at first, thought she was starving to death, but she adjusted very quickly. |
| Is there a reason you don't want to use fresh carrots? They have lots of crunch and keep them busy for awhile and there's only around 30 calories in a small to medium carrot. I've replaced all of Clyde's treats with carrots in the last couple of weeks and he loves them. |

I've replaced all of Clyde's treats with carrots in the last couple of weeks and he loves them. I was thinking of food additives to help them feel full, or least like I was not starving them. I think I will start getting carrots for some treats though. I'm transferring some of my dislikes on them. I don't care for cooked carrots and raw makes my stomach hurt. |
I dislike carrots personally in any form!  However, they make a good dog snack. As mentioned, they have a few more calories - they are a sweeter veggie. Carrots used to be (not sure anymore) a very common dog food ingredient - easy to get, nutritious and being naturally sweet, made the dog food more tasty  |
