Ketchup is generally safe to feed dogs. However, it is important to note that ketchup also contains large amounts of sugar, salt, and other condiments like vinegar that could cause digestive issues in dogs.

Therefore, you must not make it a regular habit to feed ketchup to your pet. If your dog licks a little bit of ketchup off your plate, don’t worry,  it should be fine. 

But, if your dog has eaten ketchup in large amounts, you might want to monitor your pet. In particular, you must watch out for symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. If these symptoms do arise, please do not hesitate to call your vet immediately.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
