If you have a pet, you must have come across this question
at least once in your life.
Can my pet eat donuts?
The short answer is no.
The long answer is also no but with a bit of an explanation.
Let’s take a look:
We at Shipley Donuts make the freshest and softest donuts in town for humans.
That’s right, we don’t make donuts for non-humans.
But that does not give you enough reason for not feeding your pets donuts.
So, we will approach this matter in a different way.
Our pets have a different digestive system than us.
Dogs, for instance, have smaller digestive tracts, which means they should only be fed the kind of food that is easy to break down and digest.
Moreover, donuts also contain certain ingredients that are
tasty for us but can be extremely harmful for our pets.
Donuts are essentially made of flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and milk.
None of these ingredients are inherently harmful for pets.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of other ingredients that go into the making of donuts that can prove to be harmful to pets.
These ingredients include:
Chocolate
Both white chocolate and dark chocolate are harmful for pets.
Artificial flavor
It goes without saying that artificial flavors are not good for your pets. Some artificial flavors contain xylitol which can be fatal to pets.
Fillings
The fillings in donuts are mostly made of chocolate and artificial flavors and sweeteners so they are better kept away from your pets.
Toppings
While a bit of sprinkles would not harm your pet, some types of topping such as dry fruits and whipped cream can deteriorate their health.
What to do if my pet eats donuts?
First of all, you should call your vet and describe to them the situation.
If they ask you to bring your pet to the clinic, do it as soon as possible.
If they ask you to observe your pet, look for any abnormal activity such as:
●
Lethargy
●
Vomiting
●
Lacking coordination
●
Hyperventilating
If you find your pets suffering from any of the above, it is
time to rush them to a vet clinic.
