Can Dogs Eat Kale?
🟢 Safe in moderation
Yes, in small amounts. Kale is safe in moderation but, like spinach, is high in compounds that aren't ideal in large amounts.
How much is okay?
A small amount occasionally is fine. Avoid making it a daily food.
How to serve it safely
Serve plain, lightly steamed, and chopped. Raw kale is tough and can cause gas.

Frequently asked questions
Is kale a superfood for dogs?
It has nice nutrients, but its oxalates and other compounds mean it's best as an occasional small treat, not a staple.
