I recall it being used as a preservative in dog food as well, but I can't remember more about it.
My dog's have broccoli added to their food as well although I give it as raw pieces and they love it. Another great and better source of vitamin K is Kale, followed by spinach. I avoid spinach in this breed because it is high in oxalate and there are many dogs who can be prone to being stone makers in our breed. Kale is a low oxalate food, often mistaken for being high in oxalate simply because it is a leafy green. So I do add kale to my dogs food when I have it.
