Vegetarian

Q: We are vegetarians, and we want to slowly introduce fruits and vegetables to our shichon Puppy. She is just 8 weeks old and plan to keep her on the diet she is used to at before she came to us. Question is what are some of the fruits ande vegetables we can give to our shichon puppy?

A: The main thing is to avoid grapes, raisins,  garlic and onion.  Mainstays like green beans and carrots are fine.  Fruits are by trial and error as the ability to digest them without upset varies from dog to dog.  Take a look at the list supplied by the AKC.
