هل يمكن للكلاب أن تأكل القرفة؟ ربما تكون قد أمضيت وقتًا في المطبخ في إعداد بعض المخبوزات المريحة التي تتميز بهذه التوابل ووجدت نفسك تتساءل عما إذا كان بإمكان كلبك أن يأكل. إذا كان البشر يستطيعون تناول القرفة ، فهل يمكن للكلاب أن تأكلها بأمان أيضًا؟

ليست هناك إجابة قصيرة بنعم أو لا حول ما إذا كان بإمكان الكلاب تناول القرفة بأمان. كمية صغيرة من تلقاء نفسها ليست سامة للكلاب ، ولكن في كثير من الأحيان تحتوي الأطعمة التي تحتوي على القرفة أيضًا على مكونات أخرى يمكن أن تكون ضارة. لذلك من الأفضل أن تظل حذرًا وأن تحاول إبعاد هذه الأطعمة عن الكلب.

As always, you must ask your regular vet before going ahead and sharing any human food with your beloved dog, including foods that contain cinnamon. Here’s what you need to know about cinnamon and dogs.

When Is Cinnamon Bad For Dogs?

As mentioned above, a small amount of cinnamon on its own is not considered to be toxic to dogs. In fact, even if your dog scarfs down a bunch of cinnamon, there’s a good chance that they won’t need to seek much in the way of medical attention.

However, the problem with this spice is that it mostly appears as an ingredient in other foods. Especially when it comes to baked goods, those other foods often also contain ingredients like chocolate, nutmeg, and raisins that can be harmful and poisonous to your dog.

So it’s best to resist the temptation to let your dog snack on any baked goods that contain cinnamon.

Additionally, the oils in cinnamon can aggravate dogs with sensitive stomachs and skin, and in some cases a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, vomiting, and an increased heart rate, may present themselves.

While it’s estimated that it could take over a teaspoon of cinnamon to upset your dog, there really isn’t any valid reason to add cinnamon to your dog’s existing meals.

First of all, don’t panic if your dog eats some cinnamon. As cinnamon isn’t toxic to dogs, there’s a good chance any upset stomach or similar issues will pass.

Try and figure out how much cinnamon your dog ate, along with checking to make sure that other potentially dangerous ingredients like chocolate or raisins were not also consumed.

If you notice that your dog seems to be suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, or an increased heart rate, then you must consult with your veterinarian to make sure that your dog doesn’t need medical intervention.
