Is adding more veggies to my dog's diet too much with pumpkin?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My dog gets 2 tablespoons of pumpkin for her anal glands but I'm thinking of adding more produce (veggies) to her diet. she gets 2/3 of a cup of kibble per day. I was thinking of adding a tablespoon of shredded carrots or beets. would this be overdoing it? Thanks!

Given that she already gets two tablespoons of pumpkin, adding more produce would be over doing it, but you could occasionally give her one tablespoon of pumpkin and one tablespoon of carrots or beets.
