I know many health benefits for humans eating asparagus, but does the same hold true for dogs? My pup seems to love munching on asparagus and I’m curious if there are any benefits.
Great question Goose. The health benefits are similar in dogs as in humans for asparagus. First off, dogs can eat asparagus. (this does not apply to all human foods, but here’s a list of 32 human foods that dogs can eat), but like with any new food, starts slow and use moderation. Additionally, it’s probably best to avoid raw asparagus as that can cause stomach upset, and they should not eat the asparagus plant (if you’re growing it in your garden).
