Can dogs eat marshmallows?

CAUTION

Not toxic, but check the label first.

Why?

Plain marshmallows are mostly sugar and gelatin — not poisonous, but no nutrition either. The real danger is sugar-free marshmallows sweetened with xylitol.

⚠️ Watch out for

Sugar upset; xylitol versions cause collapse and seizures.

✅ Safe way

One plain marshmallow isn't an emergency. Always check for xylitol first — if present, vet immediately.
