Can my dog eat Jicama? Safe for dogs to eat

Check Price on Amazon

 

Jicama is another popular tuber that originated in Mexico. This popular root veggie is very common in Mexican cuisine and can be eaten raw or cooked. Jicama is popular to use as a raw dipping stick in sauce (think celery and carrot sticks), or can be cut into thin slices and used to make salads, used in stir fries or even deep fried, like French fries. Jicama is a great source of fiber, Vitamins B6, C & E, potassium, copper and more.

Can my dog eat jicama? Yes, jicama is safe for your fur baby! Can my puppy eat jicama? Yes—your puppy can also enjoy jicama, but only in moderation. Before serving jicama to your canine companion, it’s a good idea to peel it first. The skin is not edible and could pose a choking hazard to your pup, or could even cause an intestinal blockage. In addition, do not let you pet eat the stems, leave or vines of the jicama plant, as these are toxic to dogs. Raw jicama is OK for dogs, but only in small amounts. Otherwise, it’s best to cook this tuber to make it easier to digest. You don’t need to season it or add spices—your dog will love it without these additions—and it’s healthier for him, too. What would happen if my puppy ate too much jicama? More than likely he would develop an upset stomach, possible vomiting and diarrhea. Also, if you suspect your puppy or dog has eaten the leaves, vine or stem of a jicama plant, be sure to call your vet and take your fur baby to see them as soon as possible.

“Feed them Jicama in small amounts”, got it. But I think I’ll still cook the tuber instead of giving them raw since it’s easier to digest that way. And personally, I don’t like spices so not adding spices for them won’t be a problem.

Yes, don’t spice or season it at all. Last time I tried spicing it up a little because I was wondering how they were comfortable eating that, it did not go down well with my fur babies. No need to season or spice it. Dogs enjoy it just plain like that and it’s healthier too.

Jeez. My puppy ate too much Jicama and it was a painful experience. He had an upset stomach and was vomiting for hours. I can’t even imagine what would happen if he took the vine, leave or something.
