Risks
- Currywurst is a Berlin fast food dish that has become popular in all of Germany. The dish consists of steamed, boiled, grilled, or fried Bratwurst sausage cut into small pieces and smothered with a spicy tomato-based sauce containing curry powder, paprika, and additional spices, which can irritate a dog's digestive tract.
- The sausage contains high amounts of fat, salt, and preservatives, which could lead to pancreatitis, salt poisoning, and obesity in dogs.
- Currywurst is often served with chips (fries) or bread, which are not toxic to dogs but are not recommended for a regular canine diet.
