I am organising a Christmas fair and intend to have a stand selling handmade chocolates and miniature Christmas cakes. I found a tip about using clean baked bean cans for baking perfect size miniature cakes and now I have the whole family consuming beans - except for one little person.
Can dogs eat beans? It would certainly help the team effort, but I don't want to upset his tum or make him overly flatulent
Indie, Tau & Chloe get them as left overs, in fact they've got some for later on. None of them have a problem with excessive flatulence, although Chloe has constant oldie flatulence which hums!!!
Lol @ Joanne....poor Chloe...Lucy suffers from 'youngster' flatulence, which also hums...guess i've got that to look forward to for life eh! :roll:
Sophie - never tried Lucy on baked beans, but can't see the harm in small doses (she has sardines in tom sauce afterall)....and of course, if its gonna help the team effort! I'm a certain someone would oblige
Wanna see pics of these minature cakes after all this bean eating effort!!!!
To be fair the rate we are all eating the beans it will be hard to tell if Cadbury is the one making the pongs :lol:
I could always empty the contents into something else and portion them out with his supper. Its only the really little cans.
Jemima, I've made the idiotic decision to write names and messages on them in icing during the fair to try and get them to sell better :roll: I must be a loon!
Right, so do you think they'ss go well with his liver tonight?
The only thing to watch out for is that some brands have higher sugar content than others, which may provoke a bum tucking fluffing labrador for a while :wink: 8O 8O
According to this article: https://goldenretrieverlove.com/can-dogs-eat-baked-beans/, baked beans are bad for dogs because of three reasons: 1. it has tomato sauce which is highly poisonous for dogs, 2. it's high in sugar content and 3. it's high in fat. I think these are enough reasons to avoid feeding dogs baked beans.
Tomato Sauce, highly poisonous??????? Rubbish! Sorry but that's just not right. There is nothing in tomato sauce which would cause a problem in moderation. For the last 30+ years my dogs have had Pilchards in tomato sauce every Sunday for lunch.
No, I'd not feed baked beans as a dog food, but would certainly not be concerned if my dogs ate some in a little leftover along with their normal food. I'm a great believer of feeding dogs a little of what we eat. A varied diet aids dogs ability to cope with anything. Most people these days are too young to remember WW2 with the food rationing, but in those days dog food was virtually unobtainable here in the UK. Even when I had my first dog in 1955 the choice was very limited and my first dog pretty much lived on table scraps. And he is still my longest lived dog.

PS. This thread is 11 years old, so assuming they were not babies when this was written, most dogs involved would have died of old age by now!
P.S. The owner of two mature lab girlies is on this thread!!! I've recently wished Happy Birthday to both of them!!! 13 and 14!!! I know they eat raw meat but, I'm sure, they might have a little bit of human food as a treat?? 😎
Xylitol, it gets bl@@dy everywhere these days. I caught Branta trying to chew some discarded chewing gum when I took her out recently, thankfully I spotted her and stopped her in time.
