Can Dogs Eat Green Peppers?

ByTiffany B Shannon Shannon

Maybe. In addition to other nutrients, green peppers are beneficial to dogs because they include vitamins A and C and a high number of antioxidants and other nutrients.

Additionally, spicy green peppers are not advised for the health and well-being of your dog for a variety of reasons, including their ability to strengthen your dog’s immune system and reduce inflammation.

Green peppers may contain capsaicin, a chemical compound present in chili peppers that is toxic to dogs. When it comes to jalapenos, they are also not suitable for dogs’ GI systems. 

Dogs who ingest more than a few pieces of these hot peppers may get mild to severe digestive problems. So always consult your vet before giving green peppers to your dogs

If your canine companion eats a green pepper, the following symptoms may occur:

  • Dehydration
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Upset stomach
