About CARROTS

FRESH ORGANIC CARROTS are root vegetables cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are widely available at grocery stores, farmers' markets, and organic food stores. For pets, particularly cats and dogs, carrots are generally safe. They provide nutritional benefits, such as vitamins and fiber, and can be served raw or cooked. However, they should be given in moderation to avoid digestive upset, and always cut into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking. There are no known toxic effects of carrots on cats and dogs when appropriately prepared and served.
