Are Peppermint Candies really that Bad for Dogs?

Question

I use it when my dog doesn't feel good is that ok? he doesn't get them all the time.

Answer 1

Your dog doesn't feel good, so you give it sugar? Sugar can upset a dog's stomach.

No, it isn't good to feed your dog peppermint candies. There is nothing of nutritional value there, just sugar.

ADD:

If your dog doesn't feel good, take him to the vet.

Answer 2

All candy is BAD for your dog!!!! End of.

Answer 3

im sure its fine to give those to him every once in a while, i mean it wont kill him.

but my boyfriend is a veterinary assistant, and whenever he sees me feeding human food to my dog he always warns me against it. while your dog may absolutely love the human food you give him, he really should only be eating dog food specially made for his breed and size. but like i said, it probably wont kill him.

what you really wanna avoid at ALL costs is chocolate, grapes, and raisins. those foods can kill your dog.

Answer 4

Peppermint is actually good for an upset stomach.  However, I would be concerned of creating a choking hazard with the candies.  You can also give Ginger Snap cookies to help with tummy aches...

Answer 5

No they're not bad.
