Jeanette, you can cook the veg (steam or boil until just tender) and then mash it up with an old-fashioned potato masher.

To some extent they will be. However, when wild carnivores eat the contents of a prey animal's intestines one would assume that those contents have been 'cooked' to some degree by the action of digestive enzymes and juices. If you boil the veg you can always use the water in which it has cooked, and which will contain some of the vitamins & minerals, to moisten her dry food.

Mashed, cooked, veg is probably better than no veg at all and if you are feeding a complete food that should contain all the necessary vitamins anyway. The veg would just be an extra because she likes it.

I just put all my veg through a food processor so they are VERY finely chopped.I also add offal and heart into the processor once the vegges are done to make a nice tasty meal.
I tried a juicer....didn't get on with it.It does make the veges into a nice mush but its so slow!!!!!!!
