In the previous blog we introduced the fruits that dogs can or cannot eat. In this blog we will continue with vegetables. If you are used to feeding your dog vegetables other than dry food, you may want to take a look.
Vegetables that CAN be given to your dog:

Pumpkin: a small amount will help your dog's growth and development.
Wombak: A moderate amount helps to improve digestion.
Cabbage: in moderation to improve digestion (note: cabbage should not be given to dogs with thyroid problems).
Broccoli: Feed your dog cooked broccoli in moderation to help give them a good boost of fibre and vitamins.
