During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone eats mooncakes to symbolize reunion. Can dogs also eat mooncakes meant for humans with their owners?
The answer is no.
The flour, white sugar, and fats in mooncakes are high in calories and very difficult to digest, which can lead to indigestion. Enjoying mooncakes happily might end up harming your dog!
The mooncake crust is made of flour, and the residue can get stuck in the dog's teeth, making it difficult to clean and affecting their dental health.So, dogs eating mooncakes really does more harm than good.
Sugar-free mooncakes are even more dangerous and can cause poisoning.
Sugar-free mooncakes do not mean they are not sweet; rather, they do not contain sucrose or glucose and are usually replaced with sugars like xylitol and maltitol.
Xylitol can cause food poisoning in dogs and even liver failure, so if you're worried about mooncakes containing too much sugar and feed your dog sugar-free mooncakes instead, it could backfire.
Where can I buy dog mooncakes? Buy dog-specific mooncakes and do a good deed at the same time.
If you really want to enjoy mooncakes with your dog and celebrate together, owners can choose to use sweet potatoes instead of mooncake crust, minced chicken instead of lotus seed paste, or buy charity mooncakes. That way, you can eat safely and happily!
