Can Dogs Eat Carrots?

Yes

Yes. Carrots are safe, low in calories and high in fibre. Raw carrots give a satisfying crunch; cooked carrots are easier to digest for older dogs.

Serving tips

  • Cut into sticks or coins to prevent choking
  • Frozen carrots can soothe teething puppies — supervise
  • Plain only, no butter or seasoning

How to share it safely

  • Treats, including people food, should stay under about 10% of daily calories.
  • Offer plain food only — no salt, butter, sugar, spices, onion or garlic.
  • Start with a small piece and watch for stomach upset over 24 hours.
  • Skip it entirely if your dog has a medical diet or a condition your vet is managing.
