- Food
- Green beans
- Category
- Vegetable
- Verdict
- Yes — with limits
- Amount
- 2–3 beans, chopped, 3 times a week.
Why
Green beans are low calorie, high fibre and hold their shape, which makes them good for foraging toys. Cook them lightly to improve digestibility.
How much is too much
2–3 beans, chopped, 3 times a week.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
