Can dogs eat butter?

It is best not to eat butter for dogs, because the requirements for butter that dogs can eat are more complicated, so it is not recommended that owners feed butter to dogs alone. Eating too much is more likely to cause diarrhea. If the gastrointestinal function of the dog is not particularly good, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. For some breeds of dogs, eating butter will shorten their lifespan.

Tip:

Butter or chicken fat is generally added to better dog food, which can fully meet the nutritional needs of dogs. You can also supplement your dog with essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
