Just read an interesting article on carrot's and canine's. I've given my dog raw carrot's occasionaly and she gobble's them down. It seem's the carrot's need to be ground into a pulp for the dog to absorb the nutrient's. Anyone feed raw carrot's on a regular basis? Any notable side effect's,good or bad? Here's a link to the article, it's a all natural health supplies site. Once you're there,go to carrot's and canine's. http://www.naturmix.com
Actually all veggies need to be ground up or cooked for dogs to utilize them. They can't digest the cellulose walls in vegetables without them being broken down by pulverizing or cooking.
I don't use carrots (or any other below ground or sugary veggies) as I have a dog with yeast problems and carrots have lots of sugar which in turn feeds the yeast.
A really easy way to understand the cellulose walls on veggies and fruits is to get an orange and look at the juice pods within each section. Even we don't digest that. If you don't chew it, it goes straight through(lovely visual) and the cell walls in veggies are the same way, but on a smaller scale. Dogs teeth were not designed for the chewing that ours were, so we need to help them out by either cooking or grinding their veggies.
You can feed them in a whole state, but they can't utilize it, and some will even get the runs...
