Yes, zucchini is another vegetable you’re able to safely feed your dog.

Just like other vegetables, zucchinis hold a lot of benefits when consumed in moderation!  However, never feed your dog human food that has seasoning and spice added to it when cooked or given raw.  Instead, prepare the zucchini by cutting off the stalk, steaming or boiling it with water, and then chopping it into small pieces. Give your dog a few bites and see if he/she enjoys that mild zucchini taste. If they seem to enjoy it, their bodies are actually receiving numerous benefits. Some of those benefits include: 

  •   High amounts of antioxidants and other nutrients
  •   Good snack for weight loss
  •   Assists will digestion if your dog is constipated 

Carotenoids are one of the abundant antioxidants found in a zucchini that helps give it its color. Most of those antioxidants live in the zucchini’s skin, so try to refrain from peeling that off before feeding it to your dog. The skin is also an awesome source of fiber for them as well!

Other vitamins and minerals you can find in zucchinis include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, manganese, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. That’s a whole lot when you think about it! Just be sure to always clean your vegetable, cut it in small pieces, and properly portion the amount you give your dog to avoid stomach irritation.
