Overview

dog-food-safety-information

Dogs can eat plain hot dogs, but that doesn't mean they should. Although in small amounts, hot dogs without adding extra toppings or sources can be tolerated by a dog. Hot dogs are loaded with sodium nitrate, which can cause poisoning in dogs when eaten in large quantities.

Risks

health-risks
  • Hot dogs are high in sodium content. Excessive consumption can cause obesity, heart disease, and kidney problems in dogs.
  • Plain hot dog buns are generally safe for dogs to eat in moderation. They are empty calories that dogs don't need in their diet.
  • Hot dogs are typically eaten with toppings that could be toxic to dogs, like onion, hot sauce, and spices.
