👨🍳 How to Prepare Carrots for Dogs
For raw carrots, wash thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces or sticks appropriate for your dog's size. You can also serve them cooked (steamed or boiled without seasonings), pureed and mixed with food, or frozen for a cooling summer treat. Baby carrots are convenient but should still be supervised.
Warnings & Precautions
- ⚠️Cut into appropriate sizes to prevent choking
- ⚠️Too many can cause digestive upset
- ⚠️High in natural sugar - moderate for diabetic dogs
- ⚠️Frozen carrots can be too hard for some dogs' teeth
- ⚠️Always supervise when giving whole carrots
Generally safe for all dogs, but introduce gradually if your dog has a sensitive stomach. For dogs with diabetes, consult your vet about appropriate portions due to natural sugar content.
