Question: Can dogs eat Lima beans?

---

Answer From the Editors at Dog-Spoiling



Yes, dogs can certainly eat lima beans as well as other types of beans.

Beans provide a considerable amount of protein. To give you an idea, soybeans provide almost 10 grams per ounce, while lima beans have a little over 5 grams per ounce.

Lentils on the other hand have about 7 grams per ounce and these can also be sprouted from seeds.

Beans also provide a significant amount of fiber and are probably best cooked and even pureed.

We hope this information has been of help to you and others.
