Fudge
Sweets And Desserts
Risks:
- Poisoning
- Dietary Issues
Fudge should be avoided for dogs due to its high sugar and potential for digestive upset. Many fudge recipes contain chocolate, which is toxic to dogs and can cause severe health issues or even death. Even non-chocolate fudge is extremely high in sugar and fat, which can lead to obesity, diabetes, and pancreatitis in dogs. Some fudge may contain nuts like macadamia nuts, which are toxic to dogs. The high sugar content can also contribute to dental problems. In some cases, fudge might contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that's extremely toxic to dogs. It's best to keep all types of fudge away from dogs and opt for dog-safe treats instead.
