Can dogs eat Soya chunks?
Benefits
- Soya chunks are made from soybeans, which have been dehulled and defatted. They are commonly used as a meat substitute due to their meaty and chunky appearance.
- Also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP), soya chunks are a rich source of plant-based protein. They are also low in fat and high in fiber content.
Risks
- While soya chunks are not toxic to dogs, excessive consumption can cause digestive issues. They may also trigger allergic reactions in dogs with soy sensitivities.
- Too much soya chunks in dogs' diet may create a hormonal imbalance. The isoflavones in soy are linked to thyroid disorders.
Servings
- Soya chunks can be given to dogs in moderation. Consult the vet to determine if soya chunks are suitable for inclusion to your dog's diet, as dogs primarily require animal-based proteins.
