First attempt ... nahhh! I chewed a little at the end until she came to see
what I was eating and offered it. She took it, placed it gently on the
floor, nosed it around a little ... and then ignored it LOLOL

You know already what a very strange girl she is <g> I will chop some raw
carrot up and mix it with her dinner ... which contains cooked carrot.

Thanks for the idea but I won't give up yet)

Don't know if that's true or not but I do like a bit
of shredded carrot in salads (vs the hard chunks).

I also like to cook carrots to death but I do use the water
too in case all the vitamin A, etc ends up in the water.

It's easier for the body to get the nutrients from them cooked.

I like raw carrots. I am not crazy about them cooked. They aren't too
bad when roasted but I don't care much for them boiled. I will eat them
if they are served to me but I wouldn't bother cooking them.

You seem to be under the delusion that every mammalian species has the
same digestive system. They don't.

Canine digestion is significally different from human. Right from when
food enters the mouth, the dog system is designed to process and digest
much larger tougher material.

I had to check out the cooked vs raw thing and it seems that some
vegetables are more nutritious for humans if they are cooked, and that
they look at different nutritional components. In come things, cooking
reduced the amount of Vitamin C, but it helps to break down cell walls
to help us get at the anti oxidants. The beta carotene in carrots and
the ferulic acid in asparagus are more easily absorbed if they have been
cooked, preferable boiled or steamed. Slow roasting or stewing tomatoes
help us to get the antioxidant lycopene, but loses some of the Vitamin C.

Other vegetables are more nutritious if they are eaten raw. Some of the
cruciferous family have more cancer fighting glucosinolates when eaten
raw. Garlic loses allicin when cooked, so should be added at the last
minute.

you did catch the part where raw carrot is offered to be a chew treat
for a dog instead of the dangerous rawhide?

It doesn't really matter (silly girl). If she enjoys them as a chew
treat, great. Some dogs (mine was one) also enjoyed a small ice cube
on a hot summer day

Cooked tomatoes are healthier than raw ones too because the lutein is changed from cis to trans or is it trans to cis?

I meant to say lycopene.

I have heard that dogs can't digest raw veggies as well, but dunno for sure.

Who cares... people with a functiuoning brain eat produce raw and
cooked. I like raw carots, in salads, as slaws, and plain old carrot
sticks. I use a lot of carrots in soups and stews. I also use carrots
in baked goods, cakes/muffins. Rather than grating it's much easier
to pass them through my meat grinder. I buy carrots in five pound
bags, they are larger and in better condition, and cost less than in
small bags... this week a five pound bag is $3.59.

There's nothing there that says coltwvu is wrong.
