Is my dog weird?

[Yerda]

He seems to like eating a lot of veggies. My partner and I eat salads most days with our meals and as time has gone on he seems to be more interested in trying the food we eat.

He loves carrots, cucumber, red pepper (that's the not spicy variety - I think you call them bell peppers), tomatoes, sweet potato, sweetcorn. We've started chopping these kind of things up for "treats" because we need to be careful with his weight. Getting close to the point where my dog could sit down to a salad.

I've known dogs to eat a bit of carrot sometimes but generally they seem to reject veggies. Any one else have experience with dogs that like veg?

All dogs are weird in different ways; my dog is reliably awkward.

My dog likes apples, nectarines, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, raspberries, chips, & lots of cooked veg, etc... Doesn't like mushrooms, lettuce, etc.

In my opinion.

Well they're omnivores (not obligate carnivores) but be careful with some "human" foods that are poisonous to dogs - onions, sultanas, currants, grapes...

My parent's dogs would only eat veggies when the other dog was around.
The idea that food meant for themselves might be eaten by the other one was anathema to them, even if they hated eating it.

My dog's a bit like that with affection.

Yes, ours likes those.

Yes, ours likes those as well. Her half-sister, same mother different litters, is a LOT more picky when it comes to fruit and veg.

My boy likes mangos the most. He also will eat blackberries, corn. But as far as human foods go, he is a sucker for fish, and shrimp. He loves "fishy" things.

I don't know about dogs but cats like veggies so long as it's with meat. Left over carrots, broccoli, spinach etc, I'll often mix half and half with their tinned meat.

In the last few years some manufacturers have caught on to this, i think more as an added vitamin thing and cheaper manufacturing cost. They all really love beef and carrots and trout with spinach.

We used to have a border collie who was around 90% vegetarian. She always picked out the veg and left the meet.

Edit And she buried yellow dog biscuits. Not sure if she didn't like yellow or was trying to grow a yellow biscuit tree

What breed is he? My daughter had a Wheaten Terrier, loved carrots, that was a snack for him, sliced and one at a time like cookies. My dog I think is Italian, loves anything mixed with tomato sauce but not fresh tomatoes.

He's a Westie.

I just googled Wheaton Terrier and oh man.

The smaller dog is the Wheaton, the other is our golden/collie mix. They were best buddies.

Naked pills are of course rejected unless they are flavored or buried in a goodie at least in our house.

We have a cat on antibiotics at the moment, the tabs have to be crushed and mixed with her food
