Caution. Whipped cream is generally safe for dogs in very small amounts, but it’s not a healthy treat. It’s typically high in fat and sugar, which can contribute to obesity, heart issues, and digestive problems if eaten in excess. Stick to occasional, bite-sized servings, and always choose unsweetened, xylitol-free varieties.
