Food coloring: Is it safe for dogs?

Generally, it's OK to use food coloring in dog food. Dyes that are safe for humans are generally safe for dogs, too, though they haven't usually been specifically tested on dogs.

Some things that are safe for humans are toxic to dogs (see below), food dyes aren't on that list. In ordinary amounts, in fact, most people food is safe, but dogs are very prone to eating ridiculous amounts of anything given the opportunity.

Since you should be giving the treats in reasonable amounts, it's safe enough.

Just be aware that your dog could be a allergic to it. Just watch for strange behaviour or symptoms.
