Hello there! Luckily, most fruits vegetables are quite healthy for our pets. Here are some you want to avoid: Avocado Onion Garlic Chives Apple cores and seeds (apple slices are ok) The green parts of a tomato (red parts are ok) Cherries (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Apricots (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Grapes and raisins Wild mushrooms (grocery store mushrooms are ok) Currants Green potatoes (cooked, ripe potatoes are ok) Rhubarb I find that many dogs like baby carrots, green beans, and peeled apple slices. I hope this helps!

    Ideally, Chelsea should be fed a puppy diet purchased from your local pet store or veterinary office. Vegetables can be given supplementally but only in moderation. I would also wait until she is a bit older because puppys can have sensitive stomachs. Here is a guide to some veggies that are safe for her to snack on: http://m.petmd.com/dog/slideshows/nutrition/10-best-fruits-and-vegetables-dogs
