Can dogs eat green pepper?

Why

Green peppers are non-toxic and provide vitamins, but they can cause gas or stomach upset if a dog eats too much. The seeds and stems should be removed to prevent choking or digestive irritation.

If you do feed it

• Remove all seeds, stems, and white pith before feeding.
• Start with a tiny piece to check for individual tolerance.
• Serve raw or lightly steamed without any salt, oil, or seasonings.
• Limit treats to no more than 10% of the dog's daily calorie intake.

Watch out for

• seeds and stems
• roasted peppers with oil or garlic
• sweetened or pickled versions
• spicy peppers
