Overview
Can dogs eat Custard?
Risks
- Custard is a mix of cream, sugar, salt, eggs, and flavoring, which are too much for a dog’s stomach to handle. Allowing dogs to eat custard makes digestive upset inevitable.
- Since custard is loaded with sugar and fats, dental problems and obesity may occur if eaten regularly or in large quantities.
- Some brands use xylitol as a sweetener and chocolate as a flavoring. Both are extremely poisonous to dogs.
- Custard typically contains high levels of lactose. Stomach problems, along with other side effects, may occur if a lactose-intolerant dog consumes custard.
