The woman who owns Weeds to Blooms Garden has a variety of plants in beds and containers. She grows vegetables, herbs, and flowers. It makes her happy and allows her to spend quality time outside with her senior dog. The dog isn’t as active as he used to be, and the garden has gotten smaller over the years. One of the crops that has moved from a bed into a pot is carrots. They don’t grow very large in the pot, but the tiny carrots are the perfect size for puppy snacks. @weedstobloomsgarden This is my 17 year gardening helper. He’s a sweet boy who loves carrots. We don’t spend as much time in the garden anymore as he’s a little more fragile now but I do grow veggies just for him #jackrussellterrier #jackrussellsenior #seniorpup #gardentok ♬ Little Things – Adrián Berenguer The Jack Russell terrier is 17 years old. He and his mom are both slowing down, but he takes pride in the garden; she won’t give it up. In addition to the tiny carrots, she also grows cucumbers for her dog. These healthy, fresh veggie snacks are a great alternative to processed snacks and treats. The American Kennel Club provides a comprehensive list of which veggies are suitable for your dog and which ones aren’t. We learned about dogs and tomatoes when a sneaky thief was raiding his mom’s plants. Dogs can have tomatoes in moderation, but only ripe, red ones. The AKC recommends skipping them for your dog.

The average lifespan of a Jack Russell is usually 12 to 14 years. At 17, this guy’s healthy diet of fresh veggies served with a dose of love has likely contributed to his longevity.
