I think they suspect that I'm giving them some sort of "human food," so they automatically assume it's going to be delicious. They generally forget to chew and just swallow them as fast as possible.
I like the benefits that dogs can receive from carrots, though. The carrots are great for the canine's dental health and provide a good amount if vitamin A. They can also help with regularity if your dog is having constipation issues.
My two Chihuahuas love carrots! When I sit down to eat my lunch, which always includes carrots in my salad, I give them pieces of cut up carrots along with with a tiny bit of their dog chow as a treat. I was giving them a small bit of sugar snap peas along with the carrots, but it gave them indigestion. So, now it's just carrots for them!
