No. Smen butter is potentially harmful to dogs due to its high salt content, which is used for preservation. Consuming too much smen butter can lead to serious health issues like kidney damage and heart complications, especially in smaller or sensitive dogs.

Risks

health-risks
  • Smen butter is heavily salted for preservation and prevention of bacterial contamination. Excessive consumption can lead to serious renal and cardiac issues in dogs.
  • Some smen butter contains added ingredients such as honey, olive oil, thyme, and oregano. Although individually, these are beneficial for dogs, they are difficult for dogs to digest if combined.
  • Much like most butter, smen has high-fat content; consuming generous amounts of it can lead to diarrhea and stomach upset. Its potential long-term side effects are pancreatitis, obesity, and heart disease.
