Can cats or dogs eat quinoa?
Cats: No ruling yet · Dogs: Can eat — The AKC says dogs can generally eat quinoa — it's even an ingredient in some dog foods. Cook it so it's easy to digest, and rinse before cooking to reduce saponins, normally too low to matter. Don't scoop from your own plate, which may carry salt, garlic, or onion. For cats, none of the veterinary sources we rely on has weighed in. Start small with plain cooked quinoa only. If your pet vomits or has loose stools, stop and talk to your vet.
