Yes! Peas are a healthy treat for your dog as they are high in vitamin A, vitamin K, and various B vitamins. Peas are also a good source of fiber, iron, zinc, potassium, and magnesium. These vitamins and minerals are good for your dog’s vision, skin, digestion, immune system, nerves, heart, and more.
However, peas are not recommended for dogs with kidney issues as they contain purines that can further aggravate the kidneys. Dogs that eat too many peas can experience gas or other digestive issues.
Serving Ideas
Dogs can eat peas:
- Cooked as an ingredient in a homemade meal that’s balanced with a good source of protein.
- As a crunchy frozen treat.
- Washed and fresh from the garden.
