Can dogs eat peas?
Why
Green peas, snow peas, sugar snap peas, and garden peas are non-toxic and provide protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They should be served fresh, frozen, or thawed rather than canned, because canned peas usually contain added sodium that is harmful to dogs. Peas are a treat rather than a dietary need, so they should be given occasionally and in small amounts.
How much is safe
A small serving of fresh, frozen, or thawed plain peas as an occasional treat; avoid canned peas and remove pods to prevent choking.
