Many years ago when I first started feeding my dogs raw foods--before I added meat--I incorporated (as Martha says) raw shopped vegetables and cottage cheese into their kibble. One of my 1 1/2 year old Norfolks who was used to raw foods choked on a quarter sized piece of cauliflower. I was standing right there at the sink. Nothing I did worked. She was foaming at the mouth and trying to breath and cough at the same time. Luckily my vet was only around the corner. He got the piece of food out but the worse part was she had asperated the food into her lungs. It was touch and go for two days as he fought her asperated pneumonia. So because of that and because the experts say that unpulvarized vegetables are of no nutritional benefit to dogs, I give only crushed veggies. It was just too scary. Liz Gordon Merrychase
