We just started out 2 boxers on AzMira--they love it and it has cleared up the colitis we were battling for almost 2 months within a couple of days. The place where we bought the food suggested adding steamed veggies to their food if they were acting like they are hungry after they eat. (if you overfeed the kibble it can cause diarrhea, but adding vegetables is ok I've been told). Does anyone know of a reliable source we can find a list of OK vegetables to add to their kibble? We've been using carrots (as suggested by AzMira--but would like to have something else so they don't get tired of the same thing.)
 
The next thing I would try is green beans - most dogs love them.
My dogs eat many, many different vegs with no problem - but since you have dealt with colitis, I would proceed very slowly. Colitis is hard to control and if you've succeeded, I would say "if it ain't broke - don't fix it".
Mack and Lulu commonly eat a mix of 3-7 vegs I lightly cook in broth and buzz up in the food processor:
Green beans
carrots
peas
corn (yes the evil corn)
broccoli
cabbage
red and green bell peppers
potato
yams
spinach
zucchini
cauliflower
I usually add a grated apple to the mix and they like most kinds of fruit.
Good luck and "good job!!" on getting the colitis under control.
