are blueberries, bananas, apples, carrots, carob brownies safe for dogs?
if so, how do you portion foods? do they have more calories than normal dog biscuits/treats (ie: wellness brand venison jerky, etc)????
also, what other fruits/veggies are safe?
and…i usually use mootubes (trachea), bullysticks, beef tendons, lamb lung….but my dog LOVES carob so, i recently bought these carob brownie treats. they say all natural, but are the good?

Ingredients: Wheat Flour, Sugar, Modified Food Starch, Carob Powder, Propylene Glycol, Canola Oil, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavor, Salt, Sorbic Acid, Calcium Propionate.
note to jo:
we feed our dogs innova evo and orijen fresh fish so im pretty sure we have an idea of the natural diet. i was talking about TREATS.
Don’t feed him carob. It’s not good for him. Anything with propylene glycol is not for consumption.
He probably won’t eat bananas, but the other things you mention are okay.
If you feed him too many fruits and veggies, expect him to have some digestive problems including diarrhea and gas. Grapes are poison to dogs and can cause kidney failure within hours.
Go easy on the treats, no matter what they are. They will fill him up and may make him reject his regular dog food. That’s where the nutrition is, not in the treats. You could wind up with a spoiled, overweight animal that is actually undernourished.
Jingles excited for his dehydrated lamb lung and elk tripe treats!
