No, don’t feed your dog with Twizzlers! You might want to treat your fur baby with this sweet chewy candy. However, while this twisted licorice candy is very popular with kids and can also be tempting to your pet, it’s not actually good for them.

A small bit of red licorice Twizzlers is not essentially harmful to your dog. However, the high sugar content and flavorings make it not an ideal and unhealthy treat for your pup. 

In significant amounts, it can cause your dog to experience stomach distress and diarrhea. Like kids, too much sweets can also cause dogs tooth decay as well as diabetes, obesity, and liver diseases in the long run.

You should remember to make sure your dog won’t eat black licorice. Your dog could be in real trouble if it accidentally eats a whole black licorice candy because of glycyrrhizin which can pump blood pressure. 

Closely monitor your dog, and if persistent vomiting and diarrhea are observed, call your veterinarian 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.
