Many, if not all animal experts are against feeding dogs with bagels or any type of bread for that matter. There are several reasons why you should not be feeding your dog with bagels and some of them are below:
● Bagels usually contain high amounts of flour. Many dogs are allergic to wheat, and feeding them with bagels may trigger an allergic reaction.
● In some cases, bagels have ingredients that are toxic to dogs such as artificial flavorings, onion, garlic, and other types of herbs.
● Dogs are also prone to bloat, and because bagels are rich in carbohydrates and gluten, they are at a higher risk of being bloat if they are fed with bagels.
● Different types of sweeteners are also added to a bagel to enhance the taste, and these ingredients may trigger an increase in your dog's sugar level.
A sudden change in your pet's appetite and/or eating habits should prompt a visit to your animal hospital Wheat Ridge, CO.
