No, dogs should not eat Quarkbällchen. These German deep-fried dough balls are high in fat and sugar, which can cause GI issues. Eating fried foods can increase the risk of pancreatitis, while sugary coatings contribute to obesity and dental problems.

  • Quarkbällchen are deep-fried round doughnuts made with quark cheese, flour, sugar, and eggs. They are a popular snack throughout Germany, especially at fairs and Christmas markets.
  • Quark balls are high in saturated fats and calories. Fatty foods are a big trigger for pancreatitis in dogs, especially in small dogs and dogs with sensitive stomachs.
  • Some quarkbällchen are filled with chocolate, custard, or fruit jams which are not recommended for dogs to eat.
  • The high sugar level may cause obesity, diabetes and tooth decay in dogs, especially if sweets are consumed too frequently or in large amounts.
