Can Dogs Eat Green Beans?

Verdict
Safe in moderation

Why it is safe

Green beans are low in calories and high in fibre, and many dogs enjoy them raw, steamed or boiled. Avoid tinned beans with added salt and beans cooked with butter, garlic or onion.

Safe portion

A few beans as a treat, or a small handful mixed into food.

Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian immediately. In the UK, pet owners can also call Animal PoisonLine (run by the Veterinary Poisons Information Service) on 01202 509000, a 24-hour paid triage service.
