    There are certain vegetables and other foods that are a good substitute for meat, especially in homes where the human beings are vegetarians or vegans. Like humans, dogs also need to eat a balanced diet comprising of all the essential nutrients, namely proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Both an excess and a lack of any of these five types of nutrients in the dog's diet are equally dangerous, as they can cause severe health risks for the dog, such as malnutrition, obesity and or even vitamin or mineral toxicity. The vegetables and other foods that are suitable for dogs and take care of all their nutrient requirements include rolled grains, various types of legumes and vegetables such as whole baked potatoes, carrots, alfalfa grass, beans and avocados, some varieties of pasta, whole-wheat bread, wheat germ and supplements that are rich in calcium, zinc.

    It probably isn't a good idea to just feed your dog ANY fruit or vegetable without doing research. Some plants, fruits or vegetables are toxic to dogs. Avocados, for example, "the fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart." I found this from "www.acreaturecomfort.com". Check with your veterinarian first to be safe.
