Question

Roxi is 9 weeks old. Is it safe to give her a carrot to teethe on? I want to make sure it's not too much vitamin A. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | unspayed | 3.2 lbs

You do not have to worry about too much vitamin A coming from a carrot. Your dog would have to eat a lot of carrots to ingest a toxic amount of vitamin A. Ccarrots are a good treat, however not good for teething. You will need to cook. the carrots and give them cooked. A raw carrot can cause an intestinal blockage. I do not think you need to give any teething aids at this age.
