Fruits and veggies

[quintessa]

Can anyone tell me if there are any dangers in feeding my little girl fruits and veggies. I've given her apples and carrotts and she really seems to enjoy them.

Thanks!

Some fruits can be toxic but for the most part, apples and carrots are fine. Stay away from grapes and rasins, and peaches and peach pits (highly toxic and contain arsenic).

Cantaloupes?

My Toni loves canteloupe. I will only let her have a tiny bit because I am not sure if it is good for her. anyone out there letting their baby eat canteloupe with no problems?

Are these bad?

I guess I never thought about some fruits being bad for dogs, so I'm really glad this subject came up. Would strawberries or pineapple be ok to give Gabriel our 8 week old pup as a treat? We love these fruits and always seem to have them in the house. This is our first puppy so I don't want to give him anything that may not be good for him.

I think everything is fine in moderation ( sounds just like the advice the doc gives us,,,eh>?)...My kids get bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, apples regularly and have not problems....i do cut them up fairly small so there is no problem with digesting or getting tummy aches....they are good to mix in their food when they get bored with it!

Grapefruit?

I agree that in moderation it should be fine. This morning my baby decided that she wanted to eat breakfast with mommy and daddy (as if she doesn't think she should eat every meal with us). Anyway, we were having grapefruit. I told her daddy that surely she only THOUGHT she wanted to share. Well, surprise - she loved it. Not only did she eat two small bites, she licked the insides of my half when I was done. She continues to amaze me.
