Caution. While sherbet is not toxic to dogs, the ingredients, such as milk and sugar, can cause gastrointestinal issues in dogs when consumed excessively. Sherbet may contain artificial flavors, colors, and additives that are unhealthy for dogs.

Risks

health-risks
  • Sherbet is a frozen dessert made with fruit, sugar, milk, and egg whites. Although sherbet is not toxic to dogs, it's not a healthy treat for canines due to high sugar content.
  • Since sherbet contains dairy products, dogs may have difficulty digesting the milk or cream due to lactose intolerance. This can lead to digestive problems, such as bloating or diarrhea in dogs.
  • Some sherbet may contain artificial colors and flavors as well as preservatives, which can be harmful to dogs when ingested in large amounts.
  • Sugar-free sherbet may contain Xylitol, a sugar substitute that's toxic to dogs.
