foods forever, but wouldn\u2019t you want to give your dog some different snacks for a change?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetables are healthy additions to your Frenchie\u2019s diet when eaten without seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thing is, not all vegetables are good for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what vegetables can French Bulldogs eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>French Bulldogs can safely eat a good variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, peas, radish, spinach, and eggplants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These vegetables are safe as long as you don\u2019t exceed certain amounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And no matter what you do, stay away from onions and garlic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most people can feed these veggies safely to their Frenchies, some dogs\u2019 digestive systems may not like them very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always good to consult a vet before attempting to feed your dog something new.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

the best vegetables that are healthy for your Frenchie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broccoli<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Broccoli is considered safe for your Frenchie to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog could eat it boiled, baked, or raw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Care should be taken to not add any seasonings to the broccoli because it may upset his sensitive stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broccoli is rich in vitamins K and C, as well as fibers, minerals, and folic acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They boost the digestive system, the immune system, and help with maintaining healthy cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Broccoli contains&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0024320502017083\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5463\">isothiocyanate<\/a>&nbsp;that \u201ccould\u201d upset the digestive system if taken in large amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, keep the calorie intake from broccoli under 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cabbage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabbage isn\u2019t only safe for Frenchies but also highly nutritious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All kinds of cabbage are safe for dogs to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes green, white, and red cabbage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the red type has a lot more vitamin content than the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabbage also contains more&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/what-are-flavonoids-everything-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5464\">flavonoids<\/a>, which provide the body with antioxidant activity that helps with fighting off infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, isothiocyanate can also be found in cabbage and could upset the intestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, cabbage is notorious for gas formation in dogs and humans alike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carrots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrots are fantastic snacks for your Frenchie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re low in calories and rich in fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Frenchie can eat carrots raw or boiled, but without any other additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wagwalking.com\/treatment\/vitamin-a-for-dogs-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5465\">vitamin A<\/a>&nbsp;content supports vision, growth, and bone cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When feeding carrots to your dog, make sure they\u2019re cut into small portions that are easy for him to chew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frenchies don\u2019t chew well and serving big portions could cause choking while swallowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrots aren\u2019t toxic in any way, but the high fiber content could cause some diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that happens, you should reduce carrots in your dog\u2019s food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lettuce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lettuce is one of the best vegetables that your Frenchie could eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like carrots, their calories are very low and they\u2019re rich in vitamin A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, they contain vitamins C and K, which are essential for repairing all body tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also promote blood health and bone metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raw lettuce is better for Frenchies than cooked lettuce as it retains most of its nutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like always, you shouldn\u2019t add seasoning or other additions to the lettuce before feeding it to your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peas are so good for your Frenchie that you could sometimes find them in commercially available dog food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re rich in vitamins A, B, and K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to all the benefits your dog gets from vitamins A and K; vitamin B promotes your dog\u2019s brain and nerve functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful though, you should avoid canned peas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are often soaked in solutions that contain high amounts of salt and other substances that could harm your pup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s advised to thoroughly rinse or even boil canned peas before feeding them to your Frenchie to get rid of these substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Radish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Radish is another low-calorie snack that your Frenchie could eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog is overweight, radish would make them feel much fuller without eating too much because of their high fiber content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The radish greens and leaves are also safe for your Frenchie, but they\u2019re likely to cause intestinal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the leaves of wild radish are poisonous for all dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t let your Frenchie eat them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it happened by accident, find a vet as soon as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spinach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spinach contains a lot of vitamins that are helpful for your dog\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, make sure that it\u2019s steamed and served in little portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spoon is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has kidney problems, you should avoid feeding him spinach altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They contain high amounts of potassium that aren\u2019t easy to utilize by the kidney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eggplant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggplant is another safe and very useful food that your Frenchie could enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re full of minerals like folate and niacin as well as high amounts of vitamins B<sub>6<\/sub>&nbsp;and K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, they\u2019re rich in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/animalwellnessmagazine.com\/phytonutrients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5466\">phytonutrients<\/a>&nbsp;which provide an anti-inflammatory action, fend off cancerous cells, and reduce the risk of heart diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, eggplants are members of the nightshade family which could cause something known as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/321883#:~:text=A%20person%20with%20a%20nightshade,of%20symptoms%2C%20including%20digestive%20issues.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"5467\">nightshade allergy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allergy could happen to both humans and dogs if they feed on eggplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is your first time for your dog to try eggplant, start by feeding him small portions and watch for allergic reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feed him eggplants again if you notice anything off.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container
