Lots of dogs love chewing on a stick of celery. Others are picky and don’t like them.

    My German Shepherd loves it when I share my after workout snack with her. “Celery with peanut butter!” We have this snack about twice a week and it doesn’t hurt her at all.

    My 5 dogs eat celery every day. I bake doggie cakes with celery in them in place of canned food.

    My Westie LOVES celery and carrots.

    When cooking is ongiong in the kitchen he will beg for them, or sit and growl until he gets a slice or chunk.

    When given a small piece he usually darts out of the kitchen then happily crunches away on it, with great enthusiasm…then comes back looking for more!

    He appears to enjoy some veggies. OK, for me, they’re fat free and he loves the crunchiness. We DO however give him only a small amount.

    I have a 4 month Rottweiler (purebred) and a 6 month old Boxer (mix)I give whole celery sticks to both of them & they love it I got the idea when I saw my Rottweiler eating the grass and MY plants, so I thought ok if she wants something green and leafy let me give her what I know won’t harm her. I took two stalks out of the fridge rinse them off and give it to them green leaves and all. I don’t put anything on it no cream cheese no dip nothing, (although you can I think then it becomes fatting and I was looking for a natural snack) this works perfect they love it I know add apples (cored) and whole carrots to there snack time. It keeps there teething teeth busy and I a not adding calories or artificial food to there diet, I will continue to give my dogs fresh vegetables & fruits as adults. Start your puppy eating nature food when they are young and this will be as tasty as a bone to them.

    I have a diabetic mini schnauzer and he loves celery. I also have 3 other dogs who love their treats that he can’t have! So, it is a very good alternative at treat time!

    My miniature poodle loves celery; it is the ultimate treat for him. However, he is small, so I don’t give him too much in one setting.

    I have a rottweiler her name is Jazz and she cannot get enough of that green stick we call celery. The first time she had some she LOVED it! I love it too! So sometimes we would lounge about and enjoy our celery!

    Celery is a diuretic and therefore should not be given to dogs displaying signs of, or having confirmed cases of renal failure. In any event, even if your dog is healthy, have water on hand and limit the amount of celery you provide.

    I have two rabbits and a black lab. When I bring home leftover celery, carrots, and fennel from work (in a restaurant) all three of them beg like you’ve never seen! It almost becomes a battle to who can get to me first to steal the best bite. I’ve also seen the dog steal it from the first rabbit and then the second rabbit steal it from the first. One of the rabbit steals the dog food while the lab is eating so it all comes out in the wash anyway! The best was when I caught the lab stick her head in the rabbit cage and steal a couple carrots when she thought I wasn’t watching. Silly pets!

    My Shepherd/Chow mix loves celery with peanut butter, too – partially, I think the taste, but she does love the crunch.

    We give our guy Carrots all the time (along with banana mashed up) We were going to give him celery but weren’t sure what you meant by removing the strings? Isn’t celery just the strings?

    my pug p-nut will eat any raw veggie that I have only I donot give him onions. He loves the core of the cabbage or even from a head of lettuce, he also enjoys celery. I think more than anything he enjoys the hard chewing and the coldness of the veggies.

    I just tried to give my dog celery and she doesn’t like it, I then tried to give it to my brothers dog, she didn’t like it either, then my mom’s small chihuahua just chewed on it but never ate it. But they love bananas and tomatoes.

    I have a shepherd mix that was eating grass without throwing up or any weird results. I didn’t like the holes in the lawn that it was making. I tried a couple of pieces of celery and I tried carrots and he loves them both. I appreciate the warning about celery being a diuretic. I only gave him a few pieces that had already been prepared for a party,so minus strings, and short pieces (4″). I’m glad to hear that both in moderation are good for him. :)
