Carrots for dogs?

[Muddy4paws]

Are carrots ok to give dogs? my dogs had some the other day and they really enjoyed it but just wanted to double check incase its like onions or something!

I would either give them a whole one or cut one in half, would it be better if i washed them down before?

I always give my girls baby carrots, I've always heard they are good for their teeth. But I'm not really too sure on that one.

Carrots are fine for dogs.

To have an nutritional value, they need to be pureed into a mush. Dogs cannot digest cell walls thefore they cannot get the nutrients out of the fruits and veggies.

I still give my three baby carrots as treats because they like to munch on them.

Just to add, although they have thier nutritional value, they are high in STARCH.

My two love their baby carrots -- whenever I make Mark's lunch (which isn't very often) they always come begging because they know that at the end there is a carrot handout when I am done.

Oh of course! I give mine baby carrots sometimes as treats! They love them

Thanks everyone, Ive noticed everyone saying baby carrots the ones we buy are the big ones and i would cut it in half and give them half each is that ok?

I know this is going to sound so bad because I SHOULD know but is much starch bad? I dont puree them either I just chop them in half with the ends cut off and rinse them and feed them to the dogs
