Yes, also known as Congo pea, Angola pea, red gram, pigeon peas, etc., split peas are safe to feed dogs, in moderation.
Split peas are a form of lentil which means they are packed with protein. They are also filled with calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients are necessary for dogs for various body functions.
Split peas also contain vitamins C, B-complex, etc. that boost your dog’s immunity and maintain its muscles.

Never feed raw split peas to dogs as they can be hard on their digestive system. Also, dogs need meat, and split peas should not be the only source of protein for your pet.
