Yes canines are carnivores but still need the nutrition they get from veggies and calcium etc. In the wild all carnivores do snack on some grass . In the wild , carnivores eat herbivores , who eat only veggies so they get it that way too . They eat the bones And get calcium that way . In your home they need a varied diet too. For example , a dog that eats only boiled chicken day in and day out is not going to be very healthy .

Pumpkin is good for loose stools or constipation but IMO not necessary for everyday consumption. All the hype about adding supplements to your dogs food reminds me of the overhype of human taking supplements also. It is recommended because most humans don't eat right. Life is what happens while you are busy making plans. On Aug 20, 2012, Darlene Ashcraft <[email protected]> wrote: I've heard that dogs do not need veggies. Not sure what is correct? I am pretty sure pumpkin is good for them...

Dogs are mostly carnivores and I have read that they don't digest cellulose which is what most vegetables are. Sometimes I think that when everything hit a head with the dog food companies to get rid of the filler foods, like wheat and corn and too much rice is not beneficial to a dog, that they had to come up with something they could add to the kibble, so veggies was it. I give my girls a little bit of broccoli, and carrots, and sometimes pieces of corn as a treat when I have it as part of my dinner, but just don't feel that it would be beneficial to them as part of a regular diet.

I'm interested in doing so but most of the recipes I've found are for huge amounts and I want to make some food that is good for small breeds. Any advice would be appreciated.
