Can dogs eat radishes?
Yes, small amounts — crunchy and low-calorie.
Why
Radishes are safe, high in fibre and vitamin C, and the crunch helps teeth, but they're peppery and many dogs dislike them. Skip the horseradish and wild radish plants.
How to serve it
Wash, slice thin, a few slices.
If they eat too much
Gas or stomach upset from too many.
