Why Are Beet Greens Harmful for Pets?

Beet greens contain high oxalates that bind calcium, risking urinary crystals, kidney stones, and bladder issues in dogs and cats, plus mild GI upset from fiber overload. Beets roots are safer occasionally, but greens accumulate risk with regularity. Symptoms include bloody urine, straining, lethargy. Limit or avoid, prioritize low-oxalate greens like lettuce, and ensure ample water intake.
