List of human foods (fruit & veg) that are OK/not OK to feed a puppy? Carrot, cauliflower, cuccumber etc.?

Most of those foods are good. I have no idea what Flake (shark) is, if it is shark meat, give it a try, dogs do good with fish. With the broccoli and cauliflower, you will want to steam those first, everything else can be fed raw. Don't feed mostly broc/caul either, they do cause gas. Some dogs won't eat them, the taste is too harsh. You can also add in peas, beans, rice, and oats...lots of things. Avoid avocado, onions, grapes/raisins. My dogs eat those things without problem, but some dogs are highly allergic to them. So just use caution when you try out something new, the dog will let you know if they like it or not.

As for eggs and cottage cheese, both are fine for dogs. Don't give them too much cottage cheese as it will mess with their stomach.

Not knowing what size dog you have I can't recommend amounts. I have a great dane and she could eat a dozen eggs a day, where as a small yorkie would only eat 1/2 an egg.

You might want to get some canned pumpkin, 100% pure pumpkin...not the pie filling. Give the dog a spoon or two a day for fiber so they don't get diarrhea. It's a good source of fiber...or even add in some oatmeal.

There are many good books out there on holistic feeding. I would suggest going to the bookstore or library and looking through them to see if you can find a recipe that suits your lifestyle and budget. Some books have recipes that are very simple, others require 20 ingredients, half a day, and a small fortune to make.

Good luck!

I feed my dog the BARF diet. Bones And Raw Food. We have been feeding her this diet for 4 years now. Let me tell you I always get comments from everyone about how shiny her coat is! Also, no stinky dog breath or stinky poop. I hope you are using these veggies along with a significant protein source. You should only use the veggies as supplemental (probably around a 1/4) of the total food you are giving your dog. Dogs are carnivores, just like their ancestors, the wolf. When you feed raw diet, you are trying to mimic the same proportions they would get by eating a prey animal, such as a rabbit. So the only veggies to be had from the rabbit would be the veggies that are in the rabbit's stomach. As far as the veggies are concerned, all of those are fine. My dog really prefers fruit over veggies any day. Her favorites are tomatoes, avocado, melon, and apples, and cucumbers. Remember anything with a seed is a fruit. I would not feed my dog any dairy products. They are made from cow's milk, which really is only appropriate for baby cows, isn't it? Please research this thouroughly before you jump in. You will need to add other things to the food such as a good source of fatty acids as well. Good luck!

My dog eats carrots. But my vet told me garlic and onions. And grapes and raisins also apple seeds are toxic to dogs. Broccoli and califlower can cause upset stomach and gas. Your puppy is going to need more than fruits and veggies to grow and devolope right. You should talk to your vet about what and how much you should be feeding. Each dog will be differant. Good luck to you and to your puppy

Cauliflower and broccoli, tomato are not good for dogs. Cottage cheese is ok if it's low fat but not too often because dogs don't digest it very well and if you give too much it will give your dog the runs, you can mix a teaspoon into its food . A egg every so often is ok too with out the shell.

My little yorkie loves carrots, green beans and white rice. Her favorite treat is apples.
