Is Gelatin Safe For Your Dog?
Can dogs eat Gelatin safely?!
The answer is certifiably, yes, with some reservations! Dog's can eat plain, unsweetened human grade jelly or jelly made specifically for them, like Doggy Jelly, you just need to make sure there aren't any toxic additives!
Absolutely avoid at all costs jelly made for humans! The additives typically found in most human jelly are very toxic for dogs. A particular reminder and warning for any jelly, or food in general, for that matter, is to avoid food that includes Xylitol. This is the same toxic additive (for dogs) that is found in chocolate.
How much Gelatin can you give your dog?
Dog safe jelly is a treat you can give very regularly, and we mean regularly. We give Lulu, our mascot, Jelly on a daily basis. It's a very low calorie treat and as such we don't get concerned with giving her 5-10 donuts a day, or similar sized amounts mixed into her meals or as a regular treat.
What if my dog ate human jelly by accident?
Firstly you need to take notice of what is in the jelly and contact your Vet as soon as possible. Keep the packaging closeby or do a quick Google if you don't have the packaging anymore. The more information you can give your Vet, the better.
It's 100% better to play safe and ensure that your dog can get the best help as quickly as possible, so don't wait - call straight away before any symptoms can arise.
