【Expert answer】
Any Q

Keeping in mind that fruits and vegetables are not necessary to a dog's diet and should be thought of as an occasional treat, peas are not toxic or poisonous to dogs.


Are lentils and split peas good for dogs?

Legumes like peas, lentils, and chickpeas to name a few are high quality ingredients. They contribute meaningful levels of protein, fiber, and micronutrients to the dog diet. Likewise, potatoes are a high-quality starch source that have been used in pet foods for decades without issue.

Why are lentils bad for dogs?

Lentils and other legumes are known to contain lectins, which are a kind of plant protein that binds to sugar molecules. However, these proteins aren't great for your dog because they prevent them from absorbing other nutrients from their food.

How much peas can a dog eat?

A handful of peas is way too many to give even a big dog. Peas should always be fed in moderation to prevent flatulence and bloat. Stick to a teaspoon of peas for small breeds and a tablespoon for larger breeds. If your dog has never eaten peas before, feed them only one or two to see how they take to them.
