Fudge

Sweets And Desserts

Non-toxic Not Recommended

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.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
