[Dailydrool] Green bean diet

[Cheryl Stafford]

Using veggies as an aid to help your Basset lose weight is great. There are a few things to keep in mind. First, you can use other veggies as long as they are safe for dogs. Second, depending on the veggie, you can fed raw or lightly steamed. As always fresh is best but canned will work. Finally veggies need to be pulverized for your dog to digest/utilize the good stuff. So, it’s a good idea to send them through a food processor. Otherwise, most times, your dog will just poop out the veggie without gaining anything and it might possibly lead to poop eating. 
Currently our dogs are enjoying a blend of raw squash, cucumber and boiled beets mixed up in the food processor. It’s added to their fresh food diet. When it’s gone I see what’s next available to mix up.
