What changes between dogs and cats?

The label matches, but the two answers are not interchangeable. Compare the bottom line and serving guidance below, then use the full guide for your pet.
- Bottom line differs
- Serving guidance differs
Arugula safety for dogs
Plain, washed arugula is non-toxic to most healthy dogs. Large amounts of leafy greens can cause digestive upset, and salad dressing or mixed salad ingredients need a separate safety check.
Safe serving: A small plain leaf, washed and served without dressing, onion, garlic, or seasoning.
Arugula safety for cats
Plain, washed arugula is non-toxic to most healthy cats, though cats do not need leafy greens and too much plant fiber can upset digestion. Dressing and mixed salad ingredients change the answer.
Safe serving: A tiny piece of a plain washed leaf with no dressing, onion, garlic, or seasoning.
