Is it okay to post about dogs and food in here? [View all]

Or is this more of a Pets group topic? Anyway here goes:

I'm was in the middle of grilling salmon and had put a avocado on the counter to slice and add to my salad. When, I walked outside to get my fish, tripped over my half gnawed avocado. When I yelled out an expeletive Copper ran right to it and began burying it in the shrubs.

Good thing I have another.


Seriously, this dog loves anything green...avocados, beans, granny smiths, pears, aspargus, etc . I can leave most anything on the counter and he won't touch it but if it's green he wants it. He's even eaten raw brussel sprouts before. What is up with that?

Indeed. Your vet needs to brush up on nutrition and toxicology and kestrel91316 May 2012 #16

Hard call. Green is a tough color for dogs. They see in the yellow to blue spectrum. HopeHoops May 2012 #21
