Niomi Smith Webboard User Reg: 04-20-2009 Posts: 786 Loc: Whitehorse, Yukon Offline	I have NEVER heard of a carrot causing and obstruction - you'd think if the digestive tract can pulverize a bone that a carrot would be nothing. Does anyone have any studies, reports anything, to back this theory up? I have fed frozen carrots forever and my dogs have never had anything. Two of them only eat them in two bites.

Stephanie Bishop Webboard User Reg: 03-01-2011 Posts: 156 Loc: tx Offline	here is the link for carrot info for dogs found on VetInfo.com I see no harm at all in giving carrots. We recommend this to owners whose dogs are overweight and need low calorie snacks. Many dogs really like carrots. If she started losing weight I might suspect she was getting more carrots than she should but otherwise this should be fine. Mike Richards, DVM Read more: Diet - Treats and Snacks this is a reply to a lady with a small breed dog. So i would have to agree that carrots wouldn't "clog" up the bowl movements. It later refers to carrots as a "low carb" snack for the chunky chub pups out there..which i doubt i will ever see in ace..maybe my st. bernard would enjoy them

If you can't find them big...don't feed them, as he will bite off pieces & yes they will cause an obstruction is eaten in big chunks raw. Actually, my thinking has always been the opposite. The smaller, the better....less chance of them swallowing a big chunk. Carrot is virtually undigestible for a dog, unless ground to mush. Just as bad as a corn cob, IMO. Because someone asked, I found some snippets on the subject....both written by vets. "A dog may swallow something edible but just too large to pass through the gut, such as edible ‘bones’, plant material, or large pieces of carrots." http://www.ygrr.com/doginfo/health-foreign-body-obstsruction.html "Carrots should be cooked or canned if possible because large pieces of raw carrots can cause and intestinal blockage." http://www.burkeveterinaryclinic.com/questionofmonth_archive.html Tracy Tracy Roche VA
