Can pets eat Radish?

Only tiny plain root pieces are appropriate. Avoid pickled, salted, and seasoned radish products. Large portions may cause gas or mild GI upset. Radishes are crisp root vegetables with a peppery bite, eaten raw, roasted, sautéed, or pickled. Common types include red globe, daikon, and watermelon radish. Radish dishes often include dressings, salts, vinegar, and spicy seasonings, especially in pickled forms. Greens can also irritate digestion in some animals. Daikon and mixed radish slaws may be marinated with vinegar and chili. Raw texture can be sharp — thin slices or light cooking may improve tolerance.
