Chickpeas: Safe for Dogs and Cats?

Plain, fully cooked chickpeas are safe for healthy dogs in small amounts, but canned sodium and hummus ingredients such as garlic, onion, oil, and seasoning change the answer.

Safe serving: A small spoonful of plain, fully cooked chickpeas with no salt, oil, garlic, onion, sauce, or seasoning.

Plain, fully cooked chickpeas are not considered toxic to cats, but cats do not need them and chickpeas can cause gas, vomiting, or diarrhea.
