Can dogs eat edamame? Is it safe, and what's the right amount to feed?

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A very small amount of raw tofu is nothing to worry too much about. Tofu or soy is not toxic to dogs but may cause an upset stomach, diarrhea, or vomiting. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

If there is an underlying allergy to fish, then fish should be avoided. Eating it raw or just too much of it can cause gastrointestinal distress including vomiting and/or diarrhea not to mention raw fish can contain parasites which can also cause illness. However, a small amount of food cooked every so often as special treat is not a concern as long as there are no existing allergies to fish.

Hi, I think Axel will be fine. The amount of salt on the bean will still not be enough to cause a significant problem and Edamame beans are not toxic to cats if accidentally ingested. There is no benefit in feeding them Edamame beans ongoing but there is no harm in having it as a one off occasion. I hope this makes sense !

The answer is controversial. Spinach is high in some nutrients, but also high in oxalates, which in sufficient amounts, can block the absorption of calcium and can lead to kidney damage. Most experts agree a dog would have to eat a lot for this to happen, but there is no definitive amount or answer as to how much is too much. Dogs don't require vegetables, but they do sometimes enjoy them. I would ask the advice of your vet about feeding your dog spinach. If they don't have a problem with it, you will have to prepare it especially for your dog for him to obtain the most benefit from it. It should be chopped fine, since dogs intestines are not made to process vegetable matter the same way we are. It should be steamed with nothing added to it at all, no salt, spices, or butter. Boiled spinach has lost much of its nutrition, and raw spinach is too hard for them to digest. Small, infrequent amounts are okay, only if your dog's kidneys are healthy.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would avoid tomatoe sauce that contains onions and garlic. There is no published “toxic” dose for tomatoes. Every dog is different on how they handle certain fruits and vegetables. I would start small and gradually increase the amount watching for tummy upset manifesting as vomit or diarrhea. I would feed as a treat only. Only feed ripe red tomoatoes. The plant and green tomatoes do contain solanine which is harmful. Everything should be in moderation. Onions and garlic are toxic to animals and I do not recommend any sauce contains those ingredients. Have a great day!

No, I would not feed Xena sushi. Raw fish can contain parasites that can be passed along to your dog; in addition, if it contains avocado, that is never recommended to be fed to dogs due to causing GI upset. Finally, some types of sushi contain ingredients dogs should never eat, so I would not give Xena sushi again. She does not need it, nor is it safe for her.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Pumpkin seeds are safe for dogs, in moderation. I wouldn't allow Luckey to eat more than a handful at a time. They contain a lot of fiber and can cause constipation in large quantities. I hope this is helpful!
