Why Sugary Foods Should Be Avoided

Regular consumption of sugary foods leads to obesity, dental decay, and can contribute to diabetes in dogs. Sugar itself is not toxic, but the health consequences of regular consumption are serious. Many sugary products also contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that IS toxic. Avoid sharing sweets, cakes, biscuits, and desserts with your dog. If your dog has a sweet tooth, offer natural alternatives like blueberries or apple slices.
