Truffle
Sweets And Desserts
Risks:
- Poisoning
- Dietary Issues
Truffles should be avoided for dogs due to their high sugar, fat, and potential toxic ingredients like chocolate. Most truffles contain chocolate, which is toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and even death. Even non-chocolate truffles are typically high in sugar and fat, which can lead to obesity, diabetes, and pancreatitis in dogs. Some truffles may contain nuts like macadamia nuts, which are toxic to dogs. The rich, creamy fillings often used in truffles can cause digestive upset, especially in lactose-intolerant dogs. Some truffles may contain alcohol, which is harmful to dogs even in small amounts. It's best to keep all types of truffles, whether chocolate or not, away from dogs and opt for dog-safe treats instead.
