Are cucumbers ok for dogs to eat?

cucumbers are fine, avocado grapes onions caffeine chocolate and i think eggplant are not. most fruits and vegetables are perfectly fine. start with a small bite for a day, then see how they do. but keep in mine that fruit will give them the runs if you give them too much. bananas and cucumbers are a favorite for my Chocolate Lab, but with bananas you can only give them about 1/4 of the whole nanner.

Here is the ingredient list for a very high end holistic dog food- it does not contain rice. It has pasta, rolled oats and barley. "Halo Spot's Stew is an all natural healthy homemade food your dog will enjoy. Holistic veterinarians agree there's nothing better than a balanced, homemade diet, so let Halo's gourmet chefs do all the work and you can take all the credit for the healthiest pets in the world! No chemicals, artificial preservatives, by-products or fillers. USDA approved chicken, carrots, zucchini, squash, green beans, celery, and all the other important nutrients guaranteed to keep your pets happy and in glorious good health! Spot's Stew is delicious and heals from within. Made in a USDA kitchen so it's got to be great!" --------------------------------------... Ingredients: Water (sufficient for processing) Chicken, Carrots, Celery, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Chicken Liver, Green Beans, Green Peas, Pasta, Turkey, Rolled Oats, Barley, Soy Sauce, Dried Kelp, Garlic Powder, Calcium Lactate, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Gluconate, Di-Calcium Phosphate Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein 3.5% Min, Crude Fat 1.5% Min, Crude Fiber 1.5% Max, Moisture 88% Max This is from a Q & A with a vet: Q: All three of my dogs are overweight. They get lots of exercise, but the Vet put them on a "light prescription diet¨. They seem so hungry all the time now, and I feel a little guilty about the whole thing. What else can I do? A: The main problem tends to be the amount of fillers used in pet foods on the market today. The typical fillers are corn, wheat and rice. Even brown rice is considered to be a filler and not part of what the animals would be eating in the wild. The excess amounts of carbohydrates (found in fillers) can cause extreme weight gain and these products should be avoided. Be sure to read your pet food labels. Most pets tend to slim down beautifully when eating Spot's Stew. It helps to regulate their metabolism and I'm certain they'll love the new food and will feel completely satisfied. Sounds like rice is not the best choice.

Hi! Hope this helps.

Many foods that are just fine for us humans can be very bad for dogs. Their digestive tracts are much shorter than ours, so in most cases, human food is not physiologically appropriate for dogs. I recommend that you avoid feeding your dog any "people food" and instead, get her on a healthy, sound dog diet. This means foods made of real meat, devoid of corn, wheat, and artificial preservatives.

Additionally, it's important to strictly avoid the following: chocolate, caffeine, macadamia nuts, raisins and grapes (in large quantities), mushrooms, and onions. The list goes on, so if you've discovered your dog has eaten a food you're not sure about, call your veterinarian.

I would call the vet by phone. They will not charge you
