They can eat soybeans but will not usually eat them on purpose. Dogs are carnivores and nothing can change that fact.

Soybeans can be added into the dog's meat diet. They contain edamame which are high in vitamins and minerals. Some vets add edamame into the dog's food to give them a nutritional boost. They shouldn't be added with every meal though, just occasionally, because soybeans are gassy. Too much gas in a dog leads to diarrhoea.

Dogs cannot digest them. Canine digestion lacks an amino acid necessary to digest soybeans. Because tofu and soybean oil are already processed, they can be tolerated by many dogs. However many low-end pet foods contain soybeans, which can trigger bloat, an often fatal digestive reaction.

Most dog food already contains soybean meal. Soybean meal is heat treated (cooked) and should be safe for most animals to digest. Soybean meal is high in protein and fatty acids, one of the easier, and lesser handled protein sources. I have seen many articles that claim dogs can not digest soybeans, this is only in the raw state. These articles, do not make a difference. Extruded beans, soybean meal, and roasted beans are all heat treated. Most health food stores carry roasted beans, they taste alot like peanuts. As long as too much isn't fed, it should be fine.

Occasionally, if they are not allergic to it, but their regular drink should be plain water.
