Trust me, you don’t want to feed your dog watercress because it is very toxic to dogs. I learned that the hard way as I had already fed my dog one before I realized what it could do to them. Though he’s fine now, it was not a pleasant experience for any of us and I’ll strongly recommend you keep it far from your dog.

oh. Sorry about that. Watercress is a no-no for dogs. They can cause kidney and thyroid damage in dogs and you won’t find it funny as they would struggle greatly with that. It’s a good thing to know that your dog is fine.

Do NOT serve watercress to your puppy/dog as the results aren’t pretty. I have had two dogs that were mistakenly served watercress as a regular meal and it was horrible. I lost one and the other one suffered greatly before we got him well. If you can, just stick with regular dog food and you’ll be thankful for that.
