Pea sprouts, also called pea shoots, are exactly what the name implies—peas that have been allowed to sprout, but not grow. They’re created from dried peas  and are edible. You may find them sometimes used in salads, stir fries and more. Pea shoots are packed with nutrients including vitamins A, B6, C, E & K, folate and more.

Can my dog eat pea sprouts? Yes! Can my puppy eat pea sprouts? Yes, again! Sprouts are an inexpensive way to add some fiber and nutrients to your dog’s diet. It’s easy to incorporate sprouts into your pup’s diet. You can simply add raw pea sprouts to his food, for cook them slightly and then add them to his regular dog food. You’ll have to be careful to not let your dog eat too many sprouts. If your puppy eating too many sprouts, he could end up with a tummy ache and/or diarrhea, neither of which is pleasant for him or you.
