Can dogs eat bell pepper?

Why

These vegetables are non-toxic and provide vitamins and fiber, but they should be introduced slowly to avoid stomach upset. The seeds and stems should be removed as they can be difficult to digest or pose a choking hazard.

If you do feed it

• Wash thoroughly and remove all seeds and stems before serving.
• Cut into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking.
• Start with a tiny amount to ensure your dog tolerates it well.
• Serve raw or lightly steamed without any salt, oil, or seasonings.

Watch out for

• seeds and stems
• raw skin if your dog has a sensitive stomach
• sweetened or seasoned pepper products
• chili peppers (which are toxic)
