Keep scrolling to learn all about the wonderful benefits of carrots and how they can help keep us happy and healthy, just like they do for me! Let's keep those tails wagging and feeling fantastic!"
Carrots for Dogs: A Nutritional Powerhouse!
Offer your pooch a healthy and engaging treat with carrots! They are a fantastic, low-calorie snack packed with fibre and beta-carotene. Not only do they provide valuable nutrients, but their satisfying crunch can also entertain your furry friend and even help keep their teeth clean!
Healthy Eyes: Just like for us, carrots are vision superheroes for our furry friends! They nourish the optic nerve and contain beta-carotene, a powerful nutrient that transforms into Vitamin A. Carrots also contain lutein and lycopene, both linked to healthy eyes.
Happy Gut: Packed with fibre, carrots are a wonderful way to support a healthy and happy digestive system for your furry friend.
Nutrient Powerhouse: These vibrant veggies are bursting with goodness! They offer a wealth of other essential nutrients like vitamins K, C, B, D, and E, along with calcium, niacin, potassium, and magnesium.
Safe Ways to Give Your Furry Friend Carrots!
Carrots are a wonderful addition to your dog's diet, but it's important to prepare and serve them correctly to ensure they are safe and easy to digest.
Raw Carrots:
Thoroughly wash all carrots, especially non-organic ones, to remove potential pesticides.
Cut into safe, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking. Consider small dice, thin slices, or sticks. Baby carrots should also be cut in half.
For better digestion and nutrient absorption, try grating or finely chopping raw carrots. This helps break down the indigestible cellulose.
Cooked Carrots:
Lightly steam carrots for approximately 5-10 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. This makes them easier to chew and digest while retaining nutrients.
Ensure cooked carrots are plain. Avoid adding any salt, seasonings, butter, or oils.
Allow cooked carrots to cool completely before feeding.
Crunchy & Kind Carrot Treats Your Dog Will Love!

A Little Note from Us: Before trying any new foods with your furry pal, it's always best to chat with your vet first. This blog shares some of Pimmy's favourite eats, which have played a big part in her recovery journey after her MCT experience and in keeping her feeling her best. We hope this information is helpful, but please remember it's not a substitute for professional vet or dietary advice. Sending lots of love to your pooch, cheers!
