You have to make sure to give them water and make sure they exercise, and you also have to make sure that they eat the right foods.
But what are the best things to feed your French Bulldog? Should you be feeding him from the table? Is there specific dog food that should be all that you feed him? Or is there a happy medium, such as . . . carrots?
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can feed your French Bulldog carrots, read on for the answer.
Carrots… Yay Or Nay?
However, because of their small size – and thus, small stomach – you must make sure that the carrot pieces you feed to your French bulldog are cut into bite-sized, super tiny pieces.
You don’t want to give your Frenchie a tummy ache!
But, so long as you feed your French Bulldog small enough pieces, carrots are one of the best things you can feed to them! There are many benefits when it comes to French bulldogs eating carrots (and other vegetables).
Health Benefits
Carrots are a great thing to feed your dog – in moderation, of course – because they are a low-calorie, but high fiber snack. It should only ever be a snack that supplements the rest of the dog’s food.
You shouldn’t only feed carrots to your French Bulldog. That would only make them sick, which isn’t something that you want.
Additionally, carrots are rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin A, and antioxidants, which are all good for heart health and organ health. Vitamin A is also really beneficial to support bone growth, vision, and the immune response in the dog, so that means your dog will be less likely to get sick.
Same as with humans. If you’re looking into trying to eat healthier for your benefit, you can share a healthy snack of carrots – you’ll be watching your health and the health of your dog as well.
Teething
Because of how crunchy carrots are, French Bulldogs will have to chomp quite hard on the carrots. This way, they’re teething as their teeth grow and they’re also keeping up their health.
Especially if your French Bulldog’s teething situation is super intense, the carrots can help. Freeze them before giving them to your pet so that the cold temperature can soothe aching gums.
Takeaway
Although carrots can have a lot of benefits for your dog, don’t overload your dog. Use carrots as a supplement to whatever dog food you’re already feeding them.
