what about dogs?
ChatGPT
Feeding nuts to dogs is generally safe, but there are some caveats.
Jack beans can be difficult for dogs to digest. Raw jack beans have enzyme inhibitors, including digestive enzymes, that can put a strain on your dog’s digestive system. Therefore, it is important to cook them well enough to make them easily digestible before giving them raw jack beans. Cooked jack beans may be more digestible by a dog’s digestive system.
Jack beans are also rich in potassium, so potassium restriction may be necessary for dogs with kidney health or certain medical conditions. Therefore, if you have kidney problems, or if your dog has certain medical conditions, we recommend that you consult your veterinarian before giving jack beans.
Additionally, jack beans are a nitrogen-rich food for dogs. Excessive nitrogen intake can increase the risk of urinary tract stones and urinary tract infections in dogs. Therefore, stick to the appropriate amounts when feeding catfish and incorporate them into a balanced diet.
The safest bet is to consult with your veterinarian before giving jack beans to your dog. A veterinarian can provide advice and develop an appropriate diet plan based on your dog’s health and individual needs.
