Can dogs eat Pizza Margherita?
Risks
- The authentic Neapolitan Pizza Margherita recipe contains nothing more than tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil on top of the pizza dough.
- Modern versions of Pizza Margheritas are made with marinara sauce, which has garlic and onions, both of which are poisonous to dogs in large quantities.
- Dogs should not have Pizza Margherita since some of the ingredients in this type of pizza, including the tomato sauce, cheese, and the pizza dough, are not healthy at all for canines.
- Cheese is also fatty and has lactose, which a lot of dogs can’t tolerate.
- Dogs can get pancreatitis from eating pizza with high levels of fat or salt.
