CarefulSmall amounts, cooked, plain.
Oxalates again; small amounts occasionally. Pickled beets have vinegar and salt. The red color shows up in urine and stool and is harmless.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
