Ok, so we get it. We love pretzels. But are these treats appropriate for dogs?

It’s important to know more about your dog’s nutritional needs before you give them your treats. This guide will cover all you need to know about dogs, pretzels, and answers to your most common questions.

re Pretzels Safe for Dogs?

Pretzels can be safe for dogs if they don’t contain toxic ingredients.

The artificial sweetener, xylitol, is the most important ingredient you should be looking out for. Although it is most commonly found in yogurt-covered pretzels and fudge, it is still important to inspect regular pretzels for this harmful ingredient. A small amount of this ingredient can cause death in your dog. It is important that you do not give it to your dog.

Your dog will be fine with one or two pretzels that are xylitol-free if they have eaten a few. They are not good for dogs and we do not recommend that they be shared with other dogs.

Pretzels have a high nutritional value

Pretzels are low in nutritional value and can be harmful for your dog’s health.

Pretzels contain complex carbs that aren’t essential for dogs’ diets and can increase glucose levels. Some carbs can be good for dogs, but they should still get this in their regular diet.

Pretzels have a high salt content. Like humans, dogs also require sodium to function in their cells, but they have very different needs than us. Pretzels can be too salty for dogs, and can lead to excessive thirst and dehydration.

Saturated fats can also be found in pretzels. This can lead to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
