No it's not.


I'm thinking that I need to grind up broccoli and put
it in another favorite of his, cottage cheese.


Why?


Also, Kroger has a really good canned green bean
product called "really green" or something like that.

Even suitable for human consumption, unlike most
canned vegetables.

My dog is underweight. How do I fatten
him up without overloading his system with carbs?


Stay away from fruits and veggies and feed meat with a lot of fat on it.


And if fat is not a problem and, as some suggest,
an underweight dog may need less fiber, how about
cheese? He loves that too.


I don't see a problem with feeding cheese other than too much will
constipate. Some cheeses are carb free altogether.
