Fava beans, or broad beans, tend to have high levels of this toxin, even after cooking. This may be because the bean is large and has tougher skin, which may make the bean more difficult to cook properly. Dogs should never eat canned beans, baked beans, or refried beans, due to their troublesome ingredients, including salt, chemical preservatives, and seasonings that are dangerous for dogs like garlic, onions, and hot peppers. <strong>NOTE:</strong> Though coffee beans are not considered beans, it's important to note that coffee beans are very dangerous for dogs, and if consumed, can cause them to experience neurological damage and even death.",
