Hi Peter S! It’s a good idea to start feeding your dog with a mix of greens and veggies, but I recommend you to chop all the ingredients. On average, a slim 60-pound dog should get about 800 calories.
You can offer your dogs some of these veggies:
Carrots (1/8 cup slices which means 7 calories)
Broccoli (1/4 cup chopped, 7 calories)
Cucumber (1/2 cup slices, 8 calories)
Asparagus (3 spears, 10 calories)

Beware of toxic food, such as grapes, raisins, garlic, onion, avocado and chocolate.

Good luck!
