Fenugreek seeds are generally safe for dogs in small amounts, but it’s important to monitor your pet for any unusual symptoms if they’ve ingested them.

Fenugreek is often used as a supplement for dogs, promoting healthy digestion and sometimes even added to promote a healthy coat. However, every dog reacts differently, and it's important to watch for any signs of distress after consumption. If your dog shows any concerning symptoms, it’s best to consult your vet for guidance.
For comprehensive advice and peace of mind, consider booking a consultation with one of our vets through Dial A Vet.
