Are all radishes safe for dogs?

Both white and red radishes are safe for dogs.

However, horseradish, which isn’t a true radish, should not be given to dogs.

Horseradish is not toxic but can be very peppery and cause irritation in a dog’s nose and mouth, leading to stomach discomfort.

Red and white radishes are generally safe, but smaller ones can have a stronger, peppery taste.

Not all dogs may like the taste, but some will enjoy it.

You may need to try a bit to see if your dog likes radishes and which types they prefer.
