"MauiJNP" spoke these words of wisdom in
:

Are there any negative side effects of a dog eating a lot of veggies
(meaning some everyday as treats)? The veggies are green beans,
carrots, and sweet potatoes. What are the best veggies for dogs to
have? green beans? how is celery? I heard carrots are not good for
daily feeding because it is too much vitamin A and also sugar (?).

The reason I am asking is because I want to get away from most store
bought dog treats and want to mostly make my own stuff in the
dehydrator. The dogs love veggie leather and it is easy to make. I also
do plain veggies in the dehydrator that go over well. I want a good
treat that is healthy even in the long term and also that is pretty low
calorie? I know celery is one of the best veggies for people because of
the non-fatness of it, can I assume the same is for true for dogs?

Also, does anyone know of a good canine nutritionist that does phone
consults? There aren't really any in my area and I like to talk about a
few things that I heard or read. I have read a few books on the topic
but I want to talk with someone about some of the conflicting stuff I
noticed. Thanks.

Dr Rebecca Remmillard is a board certified canine nutritionist. about a
decade ago, it cost about $100 to talk to her. http://petdiets.com/ She
formulated diets for Danny when he was still eating raw. But he was already
reacting to EVERYTHING, and she told me it was not possible at that time to
give him a balanced diet because at that time, he WAS reacting to
EVERYTHING.
He had long term malnutrition because i insisted on feeding him raw, and
she strongly urged that I feed him hills Science diet ZD-ultra, because all
the long protien chains that he was reacting to, had been broken up, so
even though the ingredients he was allergic to were in the product, they
were altered so he could digest them, not react, and still obtain the
balanced nutrition that he needed.

ZD-Ultra was still a number and not named at that time. But Danny was a
candidate. i looked at the ingredient label and could not bring myself to
feed it. I was terrified, knowing these were the ingredients that were
causing him issues.
When i saw he was dying anyway on my diet, I took a leap of faith and
trusted her.
It worked. i saw him slowly gain strength instead of fading away.
