Yes, dogs can eat tofu in moderation! Tofu is a soybean-based food that is heart-healthy and can support liver and kidney functions. This contains isoflavones that help lower cholesterol. That said, this can help obese dogs lose some unwanted pounds. 

Although tofu is a nutrient-dense food, plant-based protein would not be sufficient as the main source for your dog’s diet, so it’s best to consider it as a treat. If your dog loves tofu, be sure to coordinate with your vet to ensure your dog has a complete diet formula.  

When preparing the tofu for your fur friend, make sure that it is plainly cooked and cooled. Do not add sauces and seasonings that may be toxic to dogs. 

An emphasis was made on feeding tofu to your dog in moderation as excessive feeding may affect male or puppy’s hormone levels resulting in poor coat quality or skin issues. It may also cause excessive gassiness or bloating.  

Lastly, bear in mind that when feeding tofu to your pup for the first time, try small amounts and monitor their reaction if you are unsure of your pet’s soy allergies.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
