Also called: baby spinach · fresh spinach · cooked spinach · frozen spinach · spinach leaves · creamed spinach · sauteed spinach
Dog
Care needed
Described signs
Small amounts usually cause no signs; a large amount can bring vomiting, loose stools or diarrhea. In dogs with a history of calcium oxalate bladder stones it is a food to avoid, and straining to urinate or blood in the urine are worth watching for. Creamed or sautéed spinach usually contains garlic or onion, and that is a good deal more serious.
