It's raw, but I don't think she actually really ate any of it, she was using it more as a chew toy. I know I saw some people on here feeding raw pumpkins so I figured it was the same idea. She did take a bite off my plate of the cooked stuff though, so yes, she ate a veggie! I saved some for her, we'll see if she'll eat it without the garlic oil and cheese, lol.
