Carrots




April 4. And it's International Carrot Day.  I know we JUST talked about sweet potatoes yesterday - but I REALLY can't leave out a talk about carrots. The orange veggie is good for us dogs - and it packs  Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.  An alphabet of vitamins.  Carrots are a great snack - and if you have a puppy and you freeze a carrot, it's great for teething.  Now keep in mind that whole carrots can be a bit of a challenge to fully digest - so you MAY see chunks of carrots in our poop.  Sorry to be graphic - but chunky carrot poop is a reality.  So as with anything, moderation is key.  I found this cool recipe video and with Easter right around the corner, you may want to make these snacks.  And what's good is that you can substitute rice flour for regular flour if you have a wheat-free kind of dog.  Check it out:

Wouldn't I like to chase that giant bunny at the end of that video....

And remember how I have always said that we PONs eat MUCH more quickly than the FG?  Well here's the proof - eating a baby carrot.  Don't fall asleep while watching this first one of Elroy:

And don't blink while watching this one... Frodo and I:

 I rest my case.

Have a good one.
