Tabasco

Condiments And Sauces

Non-toxic Not Recommended

Risks:

  • Physical Injury

Tabasco and other hot sauces can irritate a dog's digestive system and should be avoided. The capsaicin in the chili peppers that gives Tabasco its heat can cause burning sensations, pain, and inflammation in a dog's mouth and gut. This can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and discomfort. The vinegar and high sodium content can also be problematic. While a small lick may not cause serious harm, it's best not to give Tabasco to dogs.

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.
