Can dogs eat Khoya?

Overview

No. Dogs should not eat khoya, especially store-bought varieties. Many commercial versions contain harmful substances like detergent, urea, or vegetable fats contaminated with heavy metals. Even homemade khoya is high in fat and may upset your dog’s stomach. It’s best to avoid feeding khoya to your dog altogether.

Benefits

Khoya is loaded with vitamin D and calcium essential for bone growth and formation in dogs.
Vitamin K and riboflavin are also abundant in khoya. Both are important for regulating blood circulation.

Risks

Khoya is high in fats and calories since it is commonly made with full-fat milk. Allowing dogs to overeat this dairy food could lead to obesity and pancreatitis.
Khoya is also used to make sweets; its high sugar content is unhealthy for dogs.
Some store-bought khoya are reported to be adulterated with harmful ingredients such as detergent and urea. Some contain vegetable fats that are laden with heavy metal contaminants.
