Is it safe for dogs to eat sausage rolls?

While sausage rolls might be a tasty treat for humans, they are not recommended for dogs due to potentially harmful ingredients like spices, onions, and garlic.

• Monitor for vomiting or diarrhea
• Watch for signs of lethargy or weakness
• Keep an eye on excessive gas or bloating
• Look for changes in appetite or behavior

It's important to be cautious when your dog consumes foods not specifically meant for them. Sausage rolls often contain ingredients that can upset a dog's stomach or be toxic, such as onions and garlic, which can cause gastrointestinal irritation and, in some cases, more severe symptoms. Observing your pet for any adverse reactions can help you decide if veterinary care is needed.

If you notice any concerning symptoms or if your dog consumed a large amount, it might be best to consult with a veterinarian. You can quickly set up a consultation with an expert by visiting Dial A Vet.
