I'm thinking about switching up my pup's diet and was wondering if tofu is safe for dogs to eat? Is it something they can digest easily, or should I steer clear of it? Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about your pup's diet. Tofu is generally safe for dogs to eat in small amounts. It's packed with protein and is easy to digest for most dogs. But, like anything new, it's a good idea to introduce it slowly and in moderation.

Keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms such as:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Excessive gas or bloating
• Changes in appetite or lethargy

If you notice any of these symptoms, don't panic! Often, mild tummy troubles can resolve on their own. You can try giving your pup some plain, boiled chicken and rice to soothe their stomach. Make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water to help flush out any irritants.

An emergency would be if your dog has severe, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or they seem very weak or unresponsive. In such cases, it's important to contact a vet right away.

To avoid issues, keep tofu as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of their diet. And remember, some dogs may have soy allergies, so it's best to start with a tiny amount to see how your dog reacts.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
