No, don’t feed your dog with skittles. While these colorful small candies that come in different flavors like sour, fruity, and wild berry are yummy and fun to eat, their high sugar content isn’t meant for your dogs.

Similar to most candies, skittles don’t offer nutritional benefits to your dog. However, dogs react to sugar differently. Excessive intake of sweet treats like skittles may cause your dog stomach distress and other gastrointestinal problems like bloating, vomiting, and diarrhea. 

Your pooch may also get toothaches later when eating these candies.

If you want to give your dog sweet treats, it is better to stick to natural food like fruits and vegetables. Giving a little bit of skittles may not actually cause immediate harm, but your dog may get addicted if left unattended. 

If that happens, observe closely for any threatening symptoms like persistent vomiting and diarrhea. If necessary, 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.
