Zucchini

My nine-month-old Yorkie snapped up a piece of zucchini recently, and she loved it. I now allow her to have tiny treats when I cook with this vegetable. Could this be a problem?

Not that we know of, Vera. There is currently no data indicating that zucchini is potentially toxic to pets. However, it is important to keep in mind that even vegetables and plants considered to be non-toxic can produce minor stomach upset. Therefore, if you choose to offer your Yorkie a bit of zucchini now and then, be sure to keep an eye out for signs of gastrointestinal upset; if any occur, discontinue giving this veggie to her.
