Dogs are rarely picky eaters and are willing to eat a lot of things.

Some food options are harmless or even beneficial for the animal.

But a number of foods can cause serious health problems.

Quite often dog owners have questions about sweets, because the dog can literally beg for candy or cake.

Can you treat a dog with sweets?

Experts note that there is only one correct answer to this question: no, you can’t. In most cases, sweets provoke weight problems. For dogs, this is a significant risk factor for deteriorating health.

Oral problems can also be provoked: sweets cause caries and other diseases.

But there is an even more dangerous option: chocolate and other sweets that may contain cocoa. This is incredibly dangerous for the animal.

If a dog consumes too much chocolate, it could be fatal.

Therefore, it is better to treat your pet with carrots, sweet peppers or pumpkin: such sweets do not cause harm to health.
