I was surprised how crazy my dogs went for these baked treats. I've added kale into their food which they happily eat but the reaction to the bowl of kale chips was a lively and excited pack.

CAN DOGS EAT KALE?

Kale is a dark green vegetable full of vitamins, iron and antioxidants and can be given to dogs as part of their daily diet. It's low in carbohydrates and calories.

You can feed kale to your dog raw or cooked, but raw can be more difficult to digest so you may want to finely chop it or puree it first.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF KALE FOR DOGS

Kale can provide several health benefits for dogs, including:

  • High in Antioxidants - Kale is a rich source of antioxidants which can help protect against cellular damage and boost the immune system.
  • Rich in Vitamins and Minerals - Kale is a great source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, and iron, which are essential for maintaining good overall health.
  • Aids Digestion - Kale is high in fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and prevent constipation in dogs.
  • Supports Healthy Skin and Coat - Kale contains essential fatty acids that can help maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat.

KALE WARNINGS

Although kale is a great food for dogs, there is one issue for dogs with kidney issues and they should avoid kale. Tis is because kale contains oxalates which can bind with calcium and form kidney stones in some dogs.

Some dogs may react to kale with bloating and gas, so also give kale in small portions to your dog at first.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.
