We, humans, love to spice up our food with chili peppers. But is it safe for our dogs?
The answer simply is no. Sharing spicy food containing chili peppers with your dog could do more harm than good.
Depending upon the quantity your dog eats and its size, ingesting chili peppers could result in gas, bloating, stomach pain, and vomiting. Some dogs start coughing or drooling, some tend to vomit. Dogs may also foam at the mouth or sneeze continuously.
The main ingredient in chili pepper is capsaicin which can hurt your dog. Spicy chili peppers tend to irritate the delicate mucosal lining of your dog’s throat, stomach, and intestines. It could result in severe discomfort and gastrointestinal distress in your dog. This could result in vomiting or diarrhea along with the other symptoms mentioned above.
If your dog has accidentally eaten chili pepper, please call your vet right away.
