Peas contain natural sugars and by eating fresh peas you ensure that the natural sugars turn into a starch. Sugar snap peas are probably the easiest for dogs to digest and they can eat the pod! Raw peas are fine, but will be harder for your dog to break down and so they may miss out on some of the above benefits.

While birds can digest these proteins, humans and carnivores cannot.

Lectins are sticky, binding proteins.

With most kibble pet foods, we find peas high on the ingredient list (higher than some meat ingredients) and the use of concentrated pea ingredients such as pea protein.
