So, is it safe for your dog to eat bread?





Most of our dogs have found something laying on the floor or grabbed something off the counter they're not supposed to have. One common item that's out when we host company or cook is bread.

So, is it safe for your dog to eat bread? -
Find out here.

Baked bread is not toxic. However, some dogs can get a very distended abdomen and become very uncomfortable. Some dogs will actually develop gluttony bloat from overeating, and there is a chance that if he ate too much it all might come right back up. By the way - check out the x-ray in the gluttony bloat link of a dog that ate a full bag of dog food. Unbaked bread can be more dangerous as the yeast rising can cause problems in some dogs.

The bigger concern is if your dog ate any of the wrapper or foil that was on the bread. Ingestion of the wrapper can cause a
foreign body obstruction in dogs, which could cause major problems.

If your dog ate the wrapper, you should call your vet and tell them what happened.
