Hello everyone! I’m curious about the safety of giving my dog a small treat now and then. Specifically, can dogs eat sugar cookies, and if so, how much is too much? Are there any ingredients in sugar cookies that I should be concerned about for my dog’s health?
I’ve faced similar questions about treating my dog, and from what I’ve learned, giving your dog a sugar cookie now and then isn’t ideal. While a small piece occasionally might not cause immediate harm, sugar cookies contain ingredients like sugar, butter, and sometimes chocolate or nuts, which aren’t great for dogs. High sugar and fat content can lead to health issues like obesity and pancreatitis, and certain ingredients can be toxic. It’s always best to stick to dog-specific treats and consult your vet for safe options. I found that using treats specifically made for dogs keeps my pet happy and healthy without the risk of harmful ingredients.
Hi,
It’s usually not safe for dogs to eat sugar cookies. Even though a small amount might not hurt them immediately, sugar cookies have things like sugar, butter, and flour, which aren’t good for dogs.
