SAFE EATS FOR DOGS
SafeEatsForDogs helps you make smarter snack choices with straightforward, dog-friendly food guidance. Browse by category to learn what’s generally safe, what to avoid, and how to serve human foods in a more responsible way.
Sweet options can be tempting, but some fruits are better than others. Learn which fruits are commonly okay in small amounts, which parts to remove (seeds, pits, rinds), and what “too much” looks like.
Many vegetables are a great crunchy add-on, especially when cooked and served plain. We cover prep methods, common digestive sensitivities, and which veggies are best as occasional treats.
These foods can be tricky—some dogs tolerate them well, others don’t. Learn about lactose sensitivity, fiber-related gas, and the simplest ways to serve small, plain portions.
Protein can be helpful, but only when prepared safely. We focus on plain cooking, bone safety, seasoning concerns, and how to avoid common hazards like excess fat or raw risks.
This is where the biggest “hidden ingredient” risks often live—sweeteners, chocolate, high salt, spicy seasonings, and sauces. We break down what to skip and what to offer instead.
Offer a small bite first—especially with rich foods, dairy, or anything new.
Avoid salt, butter, oils, and seasonings. Skip onion/garlic powders and spicy sauces.
Monitor for digestive upset, itching, swelling, or lethargy over the next 24 hours.
Treats (including human foods) are best kept as a small part of your dog’s overall intake. If you’re adding extras regularly, consider your dog’s size, activity level, and any health conditions—and ask your vet if you’re unsure.
Dogs vary in sensitivity to fat, fiber, lactose, and specific proteins. Age, gut health, allergies, and medications can also change tolerance.
Avoid added salt, sweeteners, spicy seasonings, and rich oils/butters. Be extra cautious with sauces and packaged snacks, which can contain ingredients that aren’t dog-friendly.
If your dog has repeated vomiting/diarrhea, extreme lethargy, swelling, trouble breathing, seizures, or you suspect they ate something toxic, contact a veterinarian or emergency clinic promptly.
