Is carrot good for dogs?#

Yes, in the right amount. Carrot is low in calories and provides beta-carotene, fibre and a natural crunch that many dogs enjoy, whether cooked and mixed into a meal or given raw as a snack.

It's a useful, low-calorie way to add texture and variety without contributing much to your dog's daily calorie count.

It's especially popular as a light, low-calorie extra for dogs managing their weight.

Anything to watch?#

Cut raw carrot into appropriately sized pieces for your dog to reduce any choking risk, particularly for small dogs or enthusiastic chewers. As with all extras, keep portions modest alongside a balanced main diet.

If your dog has any chewing or dental difficulty, softer cooked carrot may be a better option, and it's worth asking your vet if you're unsure.
