Can dogs eat candy?

NO

No. Candy offers dogs nothing but risks.

Why?

Candy is pure sugar, and sugar-free candy often contains xylitol — which can kill a dog even in small amounts. Chocolate candy doubles the danger.

⚠️ Signs of trouble

Sugar crash and GI upset; with xylitol: vomiting, collapse, seizures.

🚨 What to do

Check the wrapper for xylitol/birch sugar. If present, this is an emergency — vet immediately.
