What vegetables are good for dogs?

1. Squash

All different sorts of squash are dog-friendly as long as it is cooked and the rough bits like the skin and seeds are removed.

Squash is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A, B6, C, and E, and other minerals like calcium and potassium.

Butternut squash and Pumpkin are especially good for dogs suffering from diarrhea.

2. Broccoli

This vegetable might be a little difficult for your dog to enjoy because of its taste, but if your dog likes it, then he can eat 1 to 2 pcs of bite-size florets.

Broccoli is packed with vitamins C and K that is good for immunity.

However, it should be given in very small quantities and sizes because it contains “isothiocyanates” that can irritate your dog’s tummy and it is also a choking hazard.
