Guest EvanstonGrey Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Fika goes nuts for plain frozen green beans - I buy 'em in big bags from Trader Joe's - think they're actually called 'haricot vert'... She LOVES them (healthy and refreshing veggie pup popsicle?) and we even stick a few in a Kong with PB as a snack. Mentioned this to a neighbor with a grey and she looked at me like I had three heads! Anyone else's hound like to eat them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snakes Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mine used to like them, however open a bag of frozen (or cut up fresh) broccoli and they are both there in a flash drooling! You should see them with melon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mom2Shiloh Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Bravo LOVES cauliflower. I should probably try some other veggies frozen, right now cauliflower is his most favorite treat in the entire world -- raw, not cooked, if you please.

Hubcitypam Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) All of mine except Buddy have loved green beans. Buck was all about collard greens and spinach. The "green bean diet" has been around for probably 20 years. If you have an overweight dog replace about 1/4 of their kibble with green beans. Someone on here had dogs that loved frozen brussels sprouts.... Edited May 17, 2012 by Hubcitypam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yup, green beans, fruit, veggies, just about anything along that line is begged for here. Quote Camp Broodie.

EnzaFerrari Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I am so glad I have witnesses to this story. I once put green beans in Enza's dish and then sat down to talk with my sister and her friend. Enza carefully picked each green bean out of the bowl, carried them to wear I was sitting, dropped them on the floor, and then walked back to eat her kibble. I had only had her a few months at the time, but that's when I knew I was in trouble...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kronckew Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) millie loves brussel sprouts (frozen). my bridge angel, blue, liked them too. haven't tried her on green beans. blue's absolute favourite tho was goose grass, also know as sticky weed, or cleavers, Galium aparine is the official name. it was used as a spring tonic tea and is supposed to be good for the kidneys.

Guest EvanstonGrey Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 this is SO interesting! we've tried apple, carrot, some other stuff, but she really only likes the beans - and frozen is best for the princess. gotta love these guys!

beledi Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yes, my dogs love green beans. Never thought of giving them frozen. I usually buy the unsalted in the can.

Guest DragonflyDM Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Just like to thank everyone for the idea. Boomer LOVES frozen string beans. WHO KNEW? He ate the full bag and then risked walking on tile to find the actual bag in the trash to look for more. WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only had her a few months at the time, but that's when I knew I was in trouble...... Starbuck does the exact same thing. If I put fresh or frozen green beans in her dish, she'll pick them up and very quietly start to pile them on the carpet near the couch. She doesn't chew them or anything--she apparently just wants them out of her dish and arranged neatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronckew Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 i put some frozen string beans in millie's bowl with her dinner last night as a test. she waited till they melted before having a look taking her evening nap was more important than dinner. she went away w/o eating. i put a pinch of grated cheddar on top of it. she came back and ate everything, left 1 stringey bean & three kibble chunks. i guess they fall in the category of 'i'll eat them if i must' rather than the 'cookie' category. like frozen brussels.

Guest BlueCrab Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Trader Joe's has the frozen bag of green beans at a good price, too. Usually $1 IIRC. Big favorite for Trixie, but she'll eat just about any fruit or veggie, fresh or frozen. Not such a big fan in Leyland, which is unfortunate, 'cause he's got a tendency to pork up quickly so he could use a few more veggies and a little less kibble.
