Can Dogs Eat Bok Choy?

• Bok choy offers several nutritional advantages for dogs:
• Rich in Vitamins: It's an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, which support vision, immune function, and bone health.
• Minerals: Contains calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
• Antioxidants: Helps to combat free radicals and reduce inflammation.
• Low in Calories and High in Water: Makes it a great hydrating snack, especially for dogs on a weight management plan.

1. Cook it Thoroughly: While raw bok choy isn't toxic, cooking it (steaming or boiling) makes it softer and easier for dogs to digest. This can also help reduce any potential for gas. 2. Keep it Plain: Do not add any salt, oil, butter, or seasonings. Many human seasonings, especially garlic and onion, are toxic to dogs. 3. Chop into Small Pieces: Cut the bok choy into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking and aid digestion. 4. Serve in Moderation: Introduce bok choy slowly and in small amounts. Too much fiber can lead to digestive upset, including gas or diarrhea. A few small pieces mixed into their food is a sufficient serving.

Plain, cooked, and chopped bok choy can be a safe, nutritious, and hydrating treat for dogs. It offers a good boost of vitamins and minerals when served in moderation.
