  • Can Dogs Safely Eat Beets? Expert Insights from Dr. Dwight Alleyne
    Dr. Alleyne advises that dogs can eat red beets, but avoid beet greens due to oxalates. Beets should be less than 10% of daily caloric intake, prepared fresh and peeled. "High sugar content may cause weight gain or digestive issues." Betanin in beets may color feces red. Consult your vet for long-term feeding plans.
