RobbinMann Webboard User Reg: 12-19-2006 Posts: 842 Loc: Arizona Offline	Up till now I have used frozen veggies in my dogs raw diet, however, I am wondering for convenience sake if canned veggies are okay to give to the dogs?? Also..if anyone wants to help me figure out how to resize my photos I would be much obliged. I have already tried doing it on photobucket, I've taken the pic down as far as it will allow me but it isn't changing on the forum??? Okay that was weird..I just posted the first time and the pic was huge then I posted the first edit and it went to a small pic? Oh my gosh, I'm losing it!! Jay Belcher and Levi Levi/Bella/Drogo

If you get the no-salt-added (but not regular; they are LOADED with salt) canned vegetables, I personally think that canned green beans are okay once in a while for a little variety and convenience. Why not? I wouldn't build a menu around them; they are cooked to death and don't have much in the way of micronutrients left in them. I try to use tender greens and a little low-sugar fruit (blueberries are a good example).

This is what I do, since most of it is still pretty good. I use frozen mixed veggies also, but mix them in with the fresh stuff. Also, ripe to slightly over ripe fruits are what my dogs like the best. Pears, apples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, mango ect..... My local store calls me when they have stuff and I go up after work and get it either for a super reduced cost or sometimes even free.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if they told me it was against the Federal Drug administration's rules or something lame like that, lol!! I'll sure check in to it. Thanks for the great idea!

Yuko Blum Webboard User Reg: 11-20-2006 Posts: 1002 Loc: Offline	Hehe, yeah... Robbin I tried that at my local grocery stores (I wanted their recently expired meats for my dogs) but unfortunately I was given that line. Rules and regulations, blah. It's stupid though; their unsold meats are just going to get dumped, sit outside for a while and eventually get rendered for dog food, so why can't I take that same meat before it rotts for my dogs??? Anyway, good luck - you never know. Also, a good option for getting free fruits and veggies is to find one of those natural juice and smoothie shops. They have tons of fruit and sometimes veggie pulp leftover from making the juices and would probably be willing to donate the pulp.

GRRRR Veggies should not be a big issue though. I don't think anyway. Until The Tale of the Lioness is told, the Story will Always Glorfy the Hunter
