No carrots for my pug

[CityPug]

This forum as well as many other reliable resources mentioned that baby carrots are a great treat for dogs. I remembered this when I was making beef stew a couple days ago and shared a cooked baby carrot with Dexter. He ate it in one gulp without chewing, which I didn't think to be a big deal since it was already stewed. But almost 24 hours later he vomited it up whole! Never again will he get a carrot. (No worries about medical problems. He has passed all his other food without a problem.)

Dexter's healthy treat of choice is small pieces of banana. It keeps his stool nice and firm, and he loves them. You should see him hound my boyfriend as soon as he starts peeling one!

oh no...poor dexter...i will watch rocky now very carefully altho i dont use the whole baby carrots just slices from big carrots but still could get swallowed whole..

Perhaps it was the cookedness and the size... it slid in before he realized... mine are very careful to crunch apart the raw pieces I give them.. and they are not that big (the pieces I give them... about an index finger long)...

Wally is able to tolerate cooked carrots, but not raw ones. The raw ones make him barf, even though he chews them really well. :)
He also likes his banana pre-chewed, the little prince. (Leto doesn't care. Raw carrots, whole banana chunks, it's all good.)

Boo really likes apples too, as well as bananas and carrots. Diesel doesn't eat anything that means a lot of work, like chewing hard treats or carrots. I find it pretty weird considering Diesel's teeth are all really good and we just found out Boo has two teeth that need to be pulled, so he's probably sore. Diesel's just a big baby lol

Diesel's just a big baby lol

I'm glad Wally's not the only one!! :)

Lol, Winston has been eating baby carrots his entire 11+ years. Once in awhile he will barf pieces up if he wolfed it down too fast but otherwise he's fine. If the baby carrots happen to be larger, I cut them up in smaller pieces. I wouldn't necessarily blame the carrots,lol, but I do understand your concerns. Baby tomatoes are a huge hit here too, great for hiding pills!

I have no intention to start a campaign against carrots. They are clearly great treats for many dogs. Just not for my pup. Him throwing it up 24 hours later was the scary part and the reason I'm going to stay away from them.

I love this idea!

Carrots don't really digest like most foods, but my dogs love them. It is the one treat that we allow Zoey to have, low in calories. But I must say there are alot of carrot chunks found in packages when on poop duty, lol.
