PupkeeperSafe in moderation
Can dogs eat peas? Yes, in moderation
Safe in small amounts. Fresh or frozen peas are fine as an occasional treat; skip canned peas, which are high in sodium.
If your dog ate a lot
- No need to worry if your dog ate some plain peas.
- Watch for an upset stomach if they ate a lot.
Don't
- Don't give canned peas with added salt.
- Don't give pea pods to small dogs; they can be a choking risk.
How to give it safely
Offer fresh, frozen or thawed peas, plain. Shell garden peas first.
