Can my dog eat this?

Updated By PetymFacts checked against official sources on

Quick answer

Type the food and the checker gives one of four verdicts: safe, small amounts only, avoid, or toxic, with the reason and its source. Onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, tamarind, chocolate, xylitol, macadamia nuts, alcohol and raw yeast dough are toxic. If your dog has eaten one, call your vet now.

Type a food, like curd, roti or grapes. 60 foods listed.

All 60 foods, A to Z.

  • Alcohol

    Toxic

    Also called beer, wine, whisky, rum, toddy, rum cake, plum cake

    Alcohol is absorbed quickly and pets are far more sensitive to it than people. Watch drinks left at a party and cakes soaked in rum.

  • Almonds

    Avoid

    Also called badam, soaked almonds

    Nuts are high in fat, which can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and possibly pancreatitis. Salted almonds are worse.

  • Apple

    Small amounts only

    Also called seb, saeb

    Apple slices are a good treat. Remove the seeds and core first.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Apple seeds

    Avoid

    Also called apple core, seb ke beej

    Apple seeds and the core should be removed before you share apple: the seeds hold traces of cyanide. The flesh is fine.

  • Avocado

    Avoid

    Also called butter fruit

    Merck says dogs seem fairly resistant to avocado's toxin, with one report of heart damage in two dogs. It is a real danger to pet birds and rabbits, so keep it away from all pets.

  • Banana

    Small amounts only

    Also called kela, plantain

    Banana is a good low-calorie treat in moderation, but it is high in sugar, so a treat rather than part of meals. Skip the peel.

  • Biryani

    Avoid

    Also called pulao, mutton biryani, chicken biryani, fried rice

    No vet source covers biryani by name, but it is made with onion, garlic and fried onion, which harm red blood cells, and often with bones and a lot of fat. Plain rice and plain chicken are the safe versions.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Carrot

    Safe

    Also called gajar

    Carrots are a low-calorie snack, raw or plain cooked. Gajar ka halwa is not: it is ghee, sugar and often raisins.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Cashew

    Small amounts only

    Also called kaju

    Cashews are fine for dogs a few at a time, and only unsalted. Like all nuts they are fatty.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Chai

    Avoid

    Also called tea, masala chai, green tea, cutting chai

    Tea has caffeine, the same kind of stimulant that makes chocolate and coffee risky, and chai adds sugar and milk. Do not share your cup.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Chicken

    Safe

    Also called murgi, boiled chicken, plain chicken

    Plain boiled, baked or grilled chicken with no seasoning is safe. Take it off the bone first: cooked chicken bones splinter and can choke or pierce the gut.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Chocolate

    Toxic

    Also called dark chocolate, milk chocolate, cocoa, cocoa powder, chocolate bar

    Chocolate holds theobromine and caffeine, which dogs clear slowly. The darker the chocolate, the more it holds; cocoa powder and baking chocolate are the strongest. Use the chocolate checker and call your vet.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Chocolate sweets and cake

    Toxic

    Also called chocolate barfi, chocolate mithai, brownie, chocolate cake, chocolate cookies

    Chocolate mithai, brownies and cakes are often made with cocoa powder, the most concentrated form. Call your vet with the recipe or the packet.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Cinnamon

    Avoid

    Also called dalchini

    Cinnamon is not toxic in the small amounts used in cooking, but the powder and oil can irritate the mouth. Cinnamon oil is the bigger risk.

    Source: Pet Poison Helpline

  • Citrus fruit

    Small amounts only

    Also called orange, santra, mosambi, sweet lime, lemon, nimbu

    A little orange or mosambi flesh is unlikely to cause more than a mild stomach upset. Leave out the peel and seeds.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Coconut

    Small amounts only

    Also called nariyal, coconut flesh, coconut oil, coconut milk

    Small amounts of coconut are unlikely to cause serious harm, though they may upset the stomach. Keep the hairy husk away: it can lodge in the throat.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Coffee

    Toxic

    Also called instant coffee, filter coffee, coffee powder, coffee beans, kaapi

    Coffee's caffeine is the same kind of stimulant as the theobromine in chocolate. Grounds, beans and instant powder are the most concentrated.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Cooked bones

    Avoid

    Also called haddi, chicken bones, mutton bones, fish bones, leftover bones

    Bones can injure the mouth and gut or block the intestines. Cooked bones splinter more easily. Throw leftover bones from biryani and curry straight in a closed bin.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Corn on the cob

    Avoid

    Also called bhutta, corn cob, makka

    The cob is hard to digest and can block the intestines. A few plain kernels are fine; the whole cob is not.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Cucumber

    Safe

    Also called kheera, kakdi, khira

    Cool cucumber is a low-calorie treat for hot days, if your dog enjoys it. Skip raita, which may hold onion or salt.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Curd

    Small amounts only

    Also called dahi, yoghurt, yogurt, plain curd, chaas, buttermilk

    Plain curd is an acceptable snack for most dogs. Avoid sweetened or flavoured curd, and stop if your dog gets loose stools: some dogs do not digest dairy well.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Dal

    Small amounts only

    Also called daal, lentils, moong dal, toor dal, masoor dal, sambar

    No vet source covers dal by name. The danger in home dal and sambar is the tadka: onion and garlic harm red blood cells. Only plain boiled dal with no tadka, salt or spice.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Eggs

    Safe

    Also called anda, boiled egg, plain omelette, scrambled egg

    Eggs are safe for dogs when fully cooked, with no salt, oil or onion. Raw egg is not.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Fish

    Safe

    Also called machli, machhi, meen, rohu, salmon, plain fish

    Plain cooked fish is a good protein. Never raw or undercooked, take out every bone, and skip fish curry and fried fish with masala.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Garlic

    Toxic

    Also called lahsun, lehsun, garlic powder, garlic paste, ginger garlic paste

    Garlic is in the same family as onion and harms red blood cells the same way. Powders and pastes are the most concentrated forms. It does not keep ticks away.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Ghee

    Avoid

    Also called clarified butter, desi ghee, butter, makhan, malai

    PDSA names high-fat foods such as butter among the causes of pancreatitis in dogs. Do not add ghee to your dog's roti or rice.

    Source: PDSA

  • Grapes

    Toxic

    Also called angoor, angur

    Grapes have been linked to sudden kidney failure in dogs, and no safe amount is known. Vomiting or diarrhoea usually starts within 6 to 12 hours; kidney failure can follow in 1 to 3 days.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Green peas

    Small amounts only

    Also called matar, hara matar

    Plain fresh or frozen peas are fine now and then. Avoid tinned peas with added salt.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Ice cream

    Avoid

    Also called kulfi, softy, falooda

    Ice cream is full of sugar, and many dogs do not digest lactose well. Sugar-free ice cream may also hold xylitol.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Idli

    Small amounts only

    Also called idly, plain idli, dosa

    No vet source covers idli by name. A plain idli is steamed rice and lentil batter; the risk is the sambar and chutney, which often hold onion, garlic or tamarind.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Ladoo and mithai

    Avoid

    Also called ladoo, laddu, barfi, halwa, jalebi, kaju katli, gulab jamun, sweets

    Indian sweets are rich in ghee and sugar, and PDSA lists high-fat food as a cause of pancreatitis. Many hold raisins, which are toxic, and sugar-free ones may hold xylitol.

    Source: PDSA

  • Macadamia nuts

    Toxic

    Also called macadamia

    Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, wobbliness, vomiting, tremors and a high temperature within 12 hours. Merck describes the illness as usually not fatal, but your vet should still know.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Mango

    Small amounts only

    Also called aam, alphonso, hapus, aam ras

    Ripe mango flesh is fine as an occasional treat but it is high in sugar. Remove the stone, which holds a little cyanide and can also be swallowed, and the skin.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Milk

    Small amounts only

    Also called doodh, cow milk, buffalo milk

    Dogs do not digest lactose well, and milk can cause diarrhoea or other stomach upset. A little may be fine; it is not needed.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Namkeen and chips

    Avoid

    Also called bhujia, chips, mixture, chakli, salted peanuts, papad

    Salty snacks make dogs very thirsty and, eaten in quantity, can cause salt poisoning. Many also hold onion or garlic powder.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Nutmeg

    Avoid

    Also called jaiphal, javitri, mace

    Nutmeg's toxin, myristicin, can cause disorientation, a fast heart rate and possibly seizures in large amounts. The pinch in a recipe is very unlikely to cause serious harm.

    Source: Pet Poison Helpline

  • Onion

    Toxic

    Also called pyaaz, pyaz, kanda, spring onion, shallots, onion powder, fried onion

    Onions damage a dog's red blood cells and can cause anaemia, whether raw, cooked, dried or powdered. Signs often show only a few days later, so call your vet even if your dog seems fine.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Paneer

    Small amounts only

    Also called cottage cheese, chenna

    Cheese is fine for dogs in small amounts, but it can be high in fat. Plain paneer cubes as a rare treat; never paneer cooked in a gravy with onion and garlic.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Paratha

    Avoid

    Also called aloo paratha, puri, poori, bhatura

    Fried or ghee-soaked breads are high in fat, a cause of pancreatitis PDSA lists, and stuffed parathas often hold onion. A plain dry roti is the better choice.

    Source: PDSA

  • Peanut butter

    Small amounts only

    Also called peanut spread, nut butter

    Some peanut and nut butters are sweetened with xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Read the label every time; a plain, unsalted one is fine as a small treat.

    Source: US Food and Drug Administration

  • Peanuts

    Small amounts only

    Also called moongphali, mungfali, groundnuts

    Plain unsalted peanuts are safe in small amounts. Avoid salted or masala peanuts.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Pineapple

    Small amounts only

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Prawns

    Small amounts only

    Also called jhinga, shrimp, kolambi

    A few fully cooked prawns are fine now and then, with the shell, tail, head and legs removed. Never raw.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Pumpkin

    Safe

    Also called kaddu, sitaphal, plain pumpkin

    Plain cooked pumpkin is a healthy food for dogs. Kaddu sabzi cooked with onion, garlic and spices is not.

  • Raisins

    Toxic

    Also called kishmish, munakka, currants, sultanas, dry grapes

    Raisins carry the same kidney risk as grapes, more concentrated. Watch for them in kheer, halwa, pulao, cakes and trail mix.

  • Raw egg

    Avoid

    Raw egg can carry Salmonella. A fully cooked egg is the safe version.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Raw meat

    Avoid

    Also called raw chicken, raw mutton, raw fish, kaccha meat

    Raw meat can carry Salmonella and E. coli, which can make both dogs and the people around them ill. Cook it plain if you share it.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Raw yeast dough

    Toxic

    Also called bread dough, pav dough, naan dough, pizza dough, raw dough, khameer

    Raw yeast dough keeps rising in the warm stomach and the yeast makes alcohol, which the dog absorbs. Signs range from retching and a swollen belly to collapse.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Rice

    Safe

    Also called chawal, bhaat, plain rice, boiled rice, white rice

    Plain boiled white rice is safe and easy to digest; vets often use it for a dog with an upset stomach. Cook it in water only, no salt or spice, and count it in the day's food.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Roti

    Small amounts only

    Also called chapati, chapathi, phulka, fulka, bread

    A small piece of plain roti will not hurt most dogs: grains are fine unless your dog has an allergy. Skip the ghee, butter and spices, and remember it adds calories.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Salt

    Avoid

    Also called namak, rock salt, kala namak

    Too much salt causes thirst and heavy urination, and in large amounts vomiting, tremors and seizures. Never add salt to food you cook for your dog.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Samosa and pakora

    Avoid

    Also called samosa, pakoda, bhajji, kachori, vada, fried snacks

    Source: PDSA

  • Spinach

    Small amounts only

    Also called palak

    Dogs can eat a little plain spinach, but it is high in oxalic acid and not one to give often. Palak paneer and saag are cooked with onion and garlic: avoid those.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Sugar-free sweets

    Toxic

    Also called sugar free mithai, sugar-free ladoo, diabetic sweets, birch sugar, wood sugar

    Sugar-free desserts and sweets may be made with xylitol, also labelled birch sugar or wood sugar. Read the ingredients; if your dog ate one with xylitol, call your vet now.

  • Tamarind

    Toxic

    Also called imli, imli chutney, tamarind paste

    The Merck Veterinary Manual groups tamarind with grapes and raisins: its tartaric acid has been linked to kidney injury in dogs. Keep imli chutney, rasam and sambar paste away from your dog.

    Source: Merck Veterinary Manual

  • Tomato

    Small amounts only

    Also called tamatar

    Ripe red tomato flesh is generally safe. The green parts of the plant and unripe tomatoes hold solanine, so keep dogs off the plants in your balcony garden.

  • Walnuts

    Avoid

    Also called akhrot, pecans

    Like almonds, walnuts are high in fat and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and possibly pancreatitis.

    Source: ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • Watermelon

    Small amounts only

    Also called tarbooz, tarbuj

    Watermelon flesh is safe and hydrating in summer. Remove the rind and seeds first: they can block the intestines.

  • Wild mushrooms

    Toxic

    Also called mushroom in the park, khumb, monsoon mushrooms

    Wild mushrooms can be toxic to dogs, and they spring up in parks and gardens in the monsoon. Shop-bought washed mushrooms are generally fine; a wild one needs a call to your vet.

    Source: American Kennel Club

  • Xylitol chewing gum

    Toxic

    Also called sugar-free gum, sugar free gum, mints, breath mints, xylitol

    Xylitol can drop a dog's blood sugar within 30 minutes and can damage the liver a day or two later. It is in sugar-free gum, mints, some toothpastes and sugar-free syrups.

What do the four verdicts mean?

Each food gets one of four labels. They describe the food itself, not a safe amount: the checker never gives one.

Safe
Fine for most healthy dogs as a plain, occasional extra, cooked with no salt, spice, oil, onion or garlic. Still counts towards the day's food.
Small amounts
Not toxic, but sugary, fatty, hard to digest or easy to get wrong. A small piece now and then, with the caveat in the reason.
Avoid
Not worth sharing: too fatty, too salty, a choking or blockage risk, or a stimulant. If your dog ate a lot or seems unwell, call your vet.
Toxic
Poisonous to dogs. If your dog has eaten it, call your vet or the nearest 24-hour vet now, before any signs appear. ASPCA Animal Poison Control

How does the checker decide?

Every verdict comes from a named veterinary or welfare source, cited beside the food.

The toxic foods come from the food hazards chapter of the Merck Veterinary Manual, the reference vets themselves use, and from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center's list of people foods to avoid. Xylitol's other label names come from the US Food and Drug Administration. Where those sources do not cover an everyday fruit or vegetable, we use the American Kennel Club's vet-informed food lists and say so.

Indian dishes are rarely covered by name. Biryani, samosa, dal, idli and ladoo have no page of their own in any veterinary source we could find, so the checker judges them by their ingredients, and the reason says which one sets the verdict. That is usually the tadka: onion and garlic are toxic to dogs whether raw, cooked, fried or powdered, so most curries, gravies and dals cooked for the family are off the list even when the main ingredient is fine.

We left out papaya, guava and jackfruit. They are common in Indian homes, but no veterinary source we could open covers them, and a guess is not good enough on a page about poisoning.

Which everyday Indian foods are safe for dogs?

The plain version of a food is often fine where the family dish is not. Read across.

The family dishThe dog-safe version
Dal with tadka Merck Veterinary ManualOnion and garlic in the tadka harm red blood cellsPlain boiled dal, no tadka, no salt
Roti with ghee PDSAGhee and butter are high in fat, a cause of pancreatitisA small piece of plain dry roti
Chicken curry or biryani American Kennel ClubOnion, garlic, fat and cooked bonesPlain boiled chicken, off the bone
Sweet or flavoured curd American Kennel ClubAdded sugar, sometimes sweetenersPlain curd, a spoonful, if it suits your dog
Kheer, halwa, ladoo Merck Veterinary ManualGhee, sugar, often raisins, which are toxicNone: keep sweets away
Aam ras or a whole mango American Kennel ClubSugar, and the stone can be swallowedA few pieces of ripe flesh, no skin or stone
Masala peanuts, namkeen ASPCA Animal Poison ControlSalt, and often onion or garlic powderA few plain unsalted peanuts

Even safe foods add calories. Keep extras small so they do not replace your dog's complete food.

What should I do if my dog has eaten something toxic?

Call first. Do not wait for signs, and do not try a home remedy.

  • If Your dog has eaten onion, garlic, grapes, raisins, tamarind, chocolate, xylitol, macadamia nuts, alcohol or raw yeast dough

    Call your vet or the nearest 24-hour vet now. Have ready what it ate, roughly how much, when, and your dog's weight. Keep the packet or recipe. PDSA

  • If You are tempted to make your dog vomit at home

    Do not. PDSA advises against making a dog sick at home; your vet decides whether and how to do it. PDSA

  • If Your dog seems fine after eating onion, garlic or grapes

    Still call. Onion damage usually shows a few days later, and kidney failure from grapes can follow 1 to 3 days after the first vomiting. Merck Veterinary Manual

  • If Your dog ate sugar-free gum or a sugar-free sweet

    Check the label for xylitol, birch sugar or wood sugar, then call your vet. Low blood sugar can start within 30 minutes. Merck Veterinary Manual

What changes in an Indian kitchen?

The biggest risk in most Indian homes is not a rare poison but the everyday tadka. Onion, garlic and ginger-garlic paste go into almost every dal, sabzi and curry, and concentrated forms such as dried flakes and powders are the most dangerous. A dog fed from the family's plate gets them daily. If you want to share, set aside a plain portion before the tadka goes in.

Festivals add their own risks. Diwali means boxes of mithai, dry fruit platters with raisins, almonds and cashews, and chocolate gifts within a dog's reach. Christmas brings plum cake with raisins and rum. Ask guests not to feed your dog, and keep gift boxes off low tables.

Sugar-free sweets for diabetic relatives, sugar-free gum in a handbag and some imported peanut butters may contain xylitol. In the monsoon, wild mushrooms appear in parks and society gardens. Imli is everywhere in South Indian cooking and in street-food chutneys, and Merck lists tamarind with grapes and raisins as a kidney risk for dogs.

If someone else is looking after your dog, write the foods it may have and the foods it must not on the care sheet, and ask them to keep the kitchen bin closed: cooked bones from biryani and curry are a common scavenge.

Which food beliefs are wrong?

  • You may have read

    A little garlic keeps ticks away.

    Myth

    What the sources say

    Garlic is toxic to dogs and damages red blood cells. Use a tick preventive your vet recommends. Merck Veterinary Manual

  • You may have read

    Milk is good for dogs.

    Myth

    What the sources say

    Many dogs do not digest lactose well, and milk can cause diarrhoea. Dogs do not need it. ASPCA Animal Poison Control

  • You may have read

    Milk chocolate is harmless.

    Myth

    What the sources say

    Milk chocolate holds less theobromine than dark, but it can still poison a small dog. Call your vet. Merck Veterinary Manual

  • You may have read

    Cooked bones are safer than raw ones.

    Myth

    What the sources say

    Cooked bones splinter easily and can choke a dog or pierce its gut. American Kennel Club

How do I share food safely?

Do

Don’t

What are the limits of this checker?

It covers dogs only. Cats are more sensitive to onion and garlic than dogs, Merck notes, and avocado is a serious danger to pet birds and rabbits, so do not use this list for other pets.

It cannot judge a dose. Whether an amount is dangerous depends on the food, how it was made, your dog's weight, age and health. A dog with diabetes, kidney disease or a history of pancreatitis may need a stricter diet than any general list. Your vet knows your dog; this page does not.

Questions owners ask

Can dogs eat roti?

A small piece of plain roti is unlikely to hurt a healthy dog: grains are fine unless your dog has an allergy. Skip the ghee or butter, which are high in fat, and never give roti dipped in a curry or dal with onion and garlic. It adds calories, so keep it occasional.

Can dogs eat curd?

Plain curd is an acceptable snack for most dogs in small amounts. Avoid sweetened or flavoured curd and anything with artificial sweeteners. Some dogs do not digest dairy well and get loose stools; if yours does, stop giving it.

Is it safe to give my dog dal and rice?

Plain boiled rice is safe, and plain boiled dal with no tadka is not on any toxic list we checked. The danger is the tadka: onion and garlic, raw or fried, damage a dog's red blood cells. Set aside a plain portion before you season the family's food.

Can dogs eat mango?

Ripe mango flesh is fine as an occasional treat, but it is high in sugar. Remove the skin and the stone, which holds a small amount of cyanide and can be swallowed. Aam ras with sugar and mango sweets are not a good idea.

Are grapes and raisins really dangerous for dogs?

Yes. Grapes, raisins and tamarind have been linked to sudden kidney failure in dogs, and no safe amount is known. Vomiting usually starts within 6 to 12 hours. Call your vet straight away, even if your dog seems well.

My dog licked some chai. What should I do?

Tea contains caffeine, the same kind of stimulant that makes chocolate and coffee risky, and the amount matters. A lick of milky chai is very different from a cup or tea leaves, so call your vet with what was drunk and your dog's weight rather than guessing.

Why does the checker not tell me how much is safe?

Because the harmful amount depends on the food, how it was cooked, your dog's size and its health, and only your vet can weigh that up. Giving a number could reassure you when your dog needs help. If in doubt, call your vet.
