No. For several reasons. The quick and easy refried beans come in a can, and you want to avoid canned beans because the added preservatives aren’t good for your dog’s health. Equally important, refried beans contain canola oil, garlic, and spices like cumin, chili power, and salt. These seasonings and spices are rough on your dog’s stomach. If your pet finds a can of refried beans, keep an eye on her and look out for signs of stomach pain. Call your vet if you notice any signs of digestive upset that don’t improve after a few hours.
