Absolutely not. Caramel is not safe for dogs. It contains high levels of sugar, which can lead to weight gain, dental issues, and in extreme cases, diabetes. Moreover, caramel often includes ingredients like artificial sweeteners, xylitol, or chocolate, which are toxic to dogs. I once witnessed a friend’s dog suffer digestive distress after consuming caramel. Always stick to dog-friendly treats like plain, unseasoned dog biscuits or fruits such as apples (without seeds), blueberries, or carrots for a healthy canine snack. Remember, the health and well-being of our furry friends are paramount.
