  • Scones are traditionally made with flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, and buttermilk. Classic scones are typically served with jam and clotted cream. These ingredients are not recommended for dogs as they may cause indigestion and stomach upset.
  • Scones contain dairy and, therefore, have lactose. They are difficult for dogs to digest.
  • Scones are high in calories from butter, cream, and sugar, and thus, very fattening. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain, obesity, and diabetes.
