Wash them and cut into appropriately sized pieces or sticks — for small dogs, smaller pieces to avoid a choking risk. Raw carrots give a satisfying crunch (a frozen carrot can even soothe a teething puppy), and lightly steamed makes the nutrients a bit more available. Serve plain, no butter or seasoning.
Very much — they're low in calories and high in fiber, so they're a great swap for richer treats when you're managing weight. Still count them toward the roughly 10%-of-daily-calories treat allowance, but as far as treats go, carrots are one of the better choices.
