Can my dog eat Fat hen? 
Fat hen, also known as lambs quarters, is a plant that can be used as an herb, but is also considered a nuisance weed in many areas. This plant is hearty and can grow even in the worst conditions. You’ll probably not find this veggie available in your local grocery store; however, it can sometimes be found at health food stores and local farmer’s markets. You may even find it growing wild in your area. Some people enjoy eating fat hen raw and enjoy its cabbage-like flavor. Others enjoy it steamed or sautéed, and combined with onions, garlic and cream sauces.
Can my dog eat fat hen? No, this plant should not be served to your pet and he should not eat any plants that may be available growing wild outside. They are considered toxic to both pets and livestock. Can my puppy eat fat hen? No; if you suspect your puppy ate or dog ate fat hen, you should get him to the vet as soon as possible, as this plant can be quite toxic to dogs.

I have never really paid much attention to my dog’s diet. Maybe because he was abandoned with me by a relation who had to relocate without the dog. I’m only just making research on how best to take care of the dog. Thank you for this educative article
oh, now I see why I could not find this vegetable in local grocery stores. I’ll try health food stores and local farmer markets. Thanks for the information.
Are you serious? Looks like I have to visit the veterinary doctor soon. I fed my 3 dogs this plant not long ago and they have been acting funny so I decided to check online and see what’s up. I guess I’ve learned now.
Sorry, you had to learn it the hard way. Aside from this plant not being served to pets, other plants that grow wild outside should be avoided as they could be very toxic to both pets. Don’t forget to get to a vet very quickly.
