Is it safe for dogs to eat?

Sounds ok to me in moderation, they love to have a little of what we have maybe not a whole one break it up and give her a little bit to make it feel like she is getting a lot. Try licorice to they like that and look for the low sugar one. Try liver treat or carob this is chocolate for dogs only every now and again.

I'm not sure why you contacted me by e-mail on this question. I am a Sifu of Chinese martial arts - but I will make a best guess with a little common sense thrown in. First off, it's good you love you dog so much as to feed/reward with special treats - but I do believe that there are many such special foods and snacks that are made especially for animals and are healthy. You know, chocolate is good - tastes good and even has some health properties - but too much is gonna have just the oposite effect. I believe you should find dog treats for your dog that excite your dog just as much. Good luck - think smart.

Hi Kim,

Sugar is pretty bad for a dog.

A tiny bit of sugar in a blueberry or piece of apple is fine for a treat but I would limit it to that.

I would avoid all candies. Even though your dog loves them you are not doing him/her any favours.

The sugar content is too high.

I probably wouldn't give my dogs sweets mainly because of the sugar. There are so many other foods you could give as a treat (aside from dog treats) that aren't so high in sugar.

Im not in favour of giving dogs treats of sugary things.

If it isn't in the normal diet of a dog then it should be regarded as a no no.

Many vets will disagree with me,,, as they sell a lot of these products.

I know its there living.

"A treat"...means how often?

Once a day? Too much.

Once a week...eh,probably not.

You do realize that *anything* consumed in excess is BAD?

That FAT IS BAD? That dogs eat dog-food?

I can't see it being a huge problem if it is only now and again, but try to find a substitute. Too much sugar is bad for teeth and waistline.

Don't feed your dogs rubbish or you'll find yourself with a large vet bill before too long. The sugar is bad for your dog.

yeah probally as long as you brake them in bits its safe for him/her to eat. and dont feed her it to much

as long as you are not feeding your dog chocolate, grapes or raisins, you should be ok......hopefully
