Carrots — Generally safe
Carrots are a safe and healthy treat for dogs when given in moderation. They are low in calories and a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Ensure they are cut into appropriate, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking, especially for smaller dogs.
DOSE THRESHOLD
No known toxicity threshold. Excessive amounts may cause mild gastrointestinal upset due to fiber content.
