  1. Can Dogs Eat Sugar Snap Peas

  2. You are making a delicious side of sauteed sugar snap peas to go along with your teriyaki chicken rice because doctors told you to eat more green vegetables. While you being a great dog owner, already fed a piece of cooked chicken to your pooch, Fluffy got his eyes locked on the peas. However, you are unsure, whether you should feed him this vegetable or not, because, some fruits like lime are dangerous for your pooch. Oh, the pressure of decision.

  3. What are Sugar Snap Peas? For those who live solely in the takeout world, you might be wondering what exactly is this stuff? Are these peas dipped in sugar? Are these peas that snap because they have a short temper? Well, neither. This is a delicious vegetable that was derived from crossing snow peas and garden peas in the 1970s, and before you ask, no, snow peas are not made up of snow. One huge benefit of this specific pea is that these can be eaten with the pods and don’t require shelling, which is one less task to worry about, and I’m in for it. Staying true to its name, this vegetable has a sweet flavor with a crispy texture. Given their delicate flavor and texture, these are served raw or cooked very slightly to retain the crispiness.

  4. Can Dogs Eat Sugar Snap Peas? Now the question you’ve been waiting for, or not if you’ve scrolled down. Yes, dogs can indulge in this crispy vegetable, however, in moderation. These have relatively low calories and can be fed to your dog in the form of a snack. As mentioned previously, these peas are packed with nutrition, and they are also high in fiber, which is tremendously beneficial for your hound if they happen to be suffering from constipation. Sugar snap peas also have lutein, an antioxidant that is great for skin, heart, and eye health. Furthermore, this specific type of pea is the easiest to digest by your loving pooch.

  5. As always there are certain things you should watch out for, first and foremost, avoid canned peas as mentioned earlier. Additionally, if your dog happens to have kidney issues, then it is not the best idea to feed them peas, because these contain a chemical compound known as Purines. Purines produce uric acid in the body, which is then filtered through the kidneys, and if your pooch already has a kidney problem, this will overwork their kidney leading to further issues. Sadly, excessive uric acid can also surface as kidney stones as well.

  6. How to Feed Sugar Snap Peas to your Dog? Firstly, moderation is the keyword to remember here. Now if you’ve decided to feed your pooch this vegetable, there are certain ways to go on about it. You can chop these pea pods into smaller bite-sized pieces, this is extremely crucial if you have a smaller dog and can serve them along with their regular food or you could even use it as an ingredient in homemade dog food, just remember to wash them thoroughly before that and ensure they are eating adequate protein with it. Though your dog may be able to eat the whole pea pod intact without choking, it is essential to monitor them after they have been fed, as the pods can cause an intestinal blockage. While some dogs have no problem eating them whole, it’s always a good idea to chop these into smaller pieces to have peace of mind.

  7. Now let’s get back to the scenario mentioned in the introduction. While dogs can certainly eat sugar snap peas, and I’m certain you are a great cook, but the ones you’d be cooking would be full of seasoning, or worse, with lemon juice. Lemon juice is poison for dogs and must be avoided at all cost, and for this reason, if you happen to order takeout, and get sugar snap peas in it, never feed it to your dog. As always it is best to consult a veterinarian before you start feeding them any new food. Though these are safe for dogs, some dogs can react badly to them, and can even vomit. Therefore, slowly incorporate these into their diet and see how they react.
