Can my dog eat French beans? 
French beans, also commonly called green beans, are another vegetable many of us enjoy. These popular veggies can be cooked in various ways, including steamed, sautéed or even eaten raw. They pair perfectly with a wide variety of dishes, including salads, a side to meat, etc. Green beans are a great source of fiber, and include Vitamin K, beta carotene, Vitamin C, folate and more. They’re also low-calorie and low-fat, making them an excellent choice for anyone on a weight loss diet.
Can my dog eat French beans? Yes! In fact, dogs eating a low-fat diet will benefit and enjoy green beans. The beans are filling and are an excellent source of nutrition for dogs. French green beans also make a healthy snack for any dog. Fresh green beans are best for your pup, so avoid giving him canned green beans (too much salt included). In addition, it’s best not to feed your dog green beans that have been cooked with other ingredients that could be toxic (onions, spices, etc.). Also, be sure to cut whole green beans into bite-sized pieces before serving them to you dog, as these can present a choking hazard. Can my puppy eat green beans? Yes, but be sure to only give him a few at a time. If a puppy ate too many green beans, he might end up with an upset tummy and diarrhea.

Thanks for this info. I actually do buy the canned French beans for my dog and he seem to like it. I never knew it could be harmful? Well, good thing I learned on time because I’ve only fed him twice. As for onions and spices, I don’t know about that because he loves his food with very little spice. Makes him hyper and quite bouncy.
Well, I don’t know about spices making dogs hyper. But what I do know is that it’s best not to feed your dog spiced green beans or canned ones. These ingredients aren’t healthy for dogs and if you have been feeding them, it’s time to stop it while also visiting the vet to be sure if nothing is wrong with the dog for the ones she has eaten in the past.
The Acana brand’s Duck and pear dog food have to be my favorite on this list. I definitely would try it because I haven’t and I have a dog who is still nursing her puppies.
Yes, dogs on a low-fat diet will benefit and enjoy green beans greatly as it is filling and also an excellent source of nutrition. I feed them to my dogs as they can always serve as a healthy snack for any dog. Though it’s always nice to keep it served occasionally not always.
