Generally speaking, it’s probably OK for your dog to have a small amount of spinach every now and then, but regular consumption can lead to serious health problems.

Long ago, I had a couple of French Poodles, (the toy size). My nephew is a Doctor Veterinarian, knowing how I am meticulous about food, he suggest I feed my two Poodles “home food”. Being a good cook, I used to prepare a SPECIALTY for my Poodles: in a frying pan, add 4 ounces of ground meat and 6?? ounces of rice and a enough water. Mix all together and let it boil, then let simmer until the rice and meat are eatable. Then serve your dogs, usually once a day around 04:00 pm.

The two dogs were NEVER THICK. The only time they visited a Vet was when they had to cut their tails (usual for Poodles)
