Should You Leave Your Dog In The Dark?

Rainbow chard, also called Swiss chard, is another leafy green veggie that originated in the Mediterranean region. Chard leaves, when young, can be eaten raw in salads; however, the more mature leaves are usually cooked. This removes the bitter taste from the leaves. Some people describe the taste of cooked leaves as similar to cooked spinach. Rainbow chard is packed with nutrition including vitamins A, C, E & K, magnesium, manganese, iron and more.

Can my dog eat rainbow chard? Yes, your pup can safely eat rainbow chard. Can my puppy eat rainbow chard? Yes! Be sure to cook this leafy green before giving it to him. Once cooked, you can chop it up and then mix the greens into your dog’s normal dog food. What if my puppy eating too much chard? He could develop digestive problems. In addition, be aware that rainbow chard leaves contain oxalic acid. This substance is known to cause kidney stones and deplete the calcium levels in your pup’s body. Swiss chard is not recommended for pets who have kidney stones (or who are at risk for developing kidney stones), gout, osteoporosis, or stomach issues. You can feed your fur baby small amounts of rainbow chard as an occasional treat. Too much chard can lead to potentially serious health issues.

Wow, I never knew you had to cook rainbow chard before feeding your dog, and thanks for the additional information that cooking it well helps to eliminate the bitter taste. I will definitely try it out. I hope my dog eventually loves it that way. That will be a great relief for me.

Trust me, we are in the same boat on this. My dog won’t just eat rainbow chad. I guess it’s because of the bitter taste:) I’m considering how to make her like it anyway.

I always see my neighbor feeding her dog rainbow chard and I was always curious as to how edible it is, especially for a dog talk more of a puppy, thanks for the enlightenment.

How can anyone ever be doubting if rainbow chad is okay for their dog? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the veggies asides its slightly bitter taste.
