My breeder said to start incorporating green beans into my dogs diet.
Except i am afraid it will make him sick...
Does anyone know? are green beans alright for dogs??

It will not make your dog sick. I have one question though, why does your breeder want you to add beans to your dogs diet ? I feed raw and do add them to my dogs veggie puree I make with no ill effects. Just curious. :)

does he know if you are on thr BARF diet? my put green bean mush on dried kibble?

[sheplovr]

Do not add them sounds suspicious to me. Give it some apple cubes instead. If your on RAW study what and why and know the end results of feeding this and veggies along with many vitamins and supplements

My dog is overweight and my breeder said combining half dry kibble and half green beans will help him lose weight. Usually i agree with her but im not sure this time. What do you think???

That is an excellent and very common thing to do with an overweight dog. You reduce the amount of kibble being fed and replace a portion of the meals with green beans to add some bulk and help the dog feel full without adding extra calories or sugars. Apples would not work for this purpose since they are high in sugars.

I only feed Pro-Plan along with chicken necks. My boy also a mixtrue of Chicken mince that I cook with Rice, Pasta and veges and vitamins every second day with a cup of soaked dry biccies.

I have not had a problem using any of this...I also feed Chicken mixture to my cats as well.

All of them seem to be going great guns on it

I have heard of slipping in canned pumpkin because it has less calories than meat, but I have no personal experience with it.
