Risks

health-risks
  • Agave syrup offers minimal health benefits to dogs, and it has more calories than sugar.
  • Agave syrup contains a very high concentration of fructose, a simple sugar that makes up 50% of table sugar. Excessive consumption of fructose can cause the liver to get overloaded and turn fructose into fat. This can lead to chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer in dogs.
