Veggies , fruit...ect for snacks

Is it a good idea to give these raw foods for snacks, my other dogs loves carrots....hows about fruit.

What are good and what are bad ?

Lukas loves banannas. Well, loved. He decided he liked banannas so much he ate a whole bushel, skin and all and then soon found out he couldn't poop after...he hasn't been so crazy about them since

. Also enjoys Apples, Carots, peas. I'm sure I'm missing something.

Green Pepper is a favourite here

Here's a link to an older thread about good and bad fruits/veggies:
Fruits and Veggie list

Hope this helps.

My dogs like cucumbers, pears, apples, carrots, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches and they just go crazy for oranges.

Oh yeah, peaches! When the peach tree in our neighbors yard drops fruit the dogs battle the squirels for them.

The list you posted said no potatos but arent there kibbles where the potato is used as the starch? Like BB Turkey and Potato, Natural Balance Potato and Duck. I don't feed these to my dog but am still curious.

I'm not sure why the list had no potatoes. I just remembered the thread from before so that's why I posted it. I don't think it was ever resolved in the other thread why potatoes where in question. Maybe potatoes are hard to digest or something?? I'm not sure.

Mine love carrots, sugar snap peas, apples, blueberries, and banana. It's pretty cute to see them eat carrots and apples!

Its the green (green spots, raw) or unripe potatoes that are bad for dogs, but ripe and cooked potatoes are fine. I learned that on the lab board.
