Can My Dog Eat It? answers one question per page: your dog got into a snack, so what’s on the label, and what does that mean for a dog?
How I make each page
- The ingredient list comes from a public product database, either Open Food Facts or the USDA’s FoodData Central. Every page names the database and the product code, so you can look it up yourself.
- The health information comes from ASPCA Poison Control and Pet Poison Helpline. The pages say what those groups say, and I don’t add amounts or numbers they don’t give.
- If I can’t find a clean label, I skip the product. A page built on a guess is worse than no page.
What I’m not
I’m not a vet, and nothing here is veterinary advice. I don’t tell you a snack is safe, because that depends on your dog’s size, age and health, and on the amount. What I can tell you is what’s on the label and what the vet sources say about those ingredients.
If your dog already ate something that worries you, don’t read a website. Call your vet, ASPCA Poison Control at (888) 426-4435, or Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661.
Labels change
Companies change recipes, and flavors and package sizes differ. Databases also have mistakes. If a label on this site doesn’t match the bag in your hand, trust your bag.
How the site pays for itself
This site is free to read. I may add affiliate links or ads later. If I do, I’ll say so on the affiliate disclosure page, and it won’t change what a page says about a snack.
