as for veggies, my dogs do seem to need/want them. if i don't feed veggies, they get into them in the compost pile. they've also been known to raid the vegetable garden.
my older dog absolutely seemed to crave them. but i do know of other dogs who don't.

I'm between dogs, but my cats actually crave veggies. They've eaten everything I've had, including artichokes & tomatoes. Lettuce, too. I have them on THK and I also give them liitle bits of whatever meat I'm having that night, along with tinned oily fish (basically whatever's on sale).

My pup will even eat parsley, after playing with it for a few seconds. He also munches on raw baby carrots and they seem to digest well, at least I don't see anything in the aftermath

Be careful with the compost pile, Alice
About a year ago, a client brought in her 3 dogs all suffering from some kind of poisoning. These dogs were not ever released from their outdoor kennel unless supervised by the owners. The Doctors were able to rule out rat bait, antifreeze, and mushrooms as the culprits. After further questioning of the owners, calling poison control, and consulting a bunch of medical books the conclusion was that dogs had been poisoned by the compost pile they had been into several hours before showing any symptoms. The Docs suspected fermenting/spoiled potato peels.
2 of the 3 dogs died...the toxins were too well-established by the time they got to us to respond to treatment.
Perhaps it was a fluke...a one-in-a-million occurance not ever to be repeated...but when I hear "compost pile" I think of those dogs.

wow, sarah, thank you very much for the warning!!
the compost pile is blocked off with a piece of metal roofing, but my old dog was so determined to get to it, he'd find a way, anyway. (he weighed 185 lbs. and pretty much did whatever he wanted to.)
he died in 2005 (unrelated to the compost), and the dog we have remaining doesn't show much interest in the compost pile. but now that i've read your post, i will make sure the metal roofing is securely in place.
