• Always give your dog fresh water to help him digest the waffle.
• Observe your dog after eating for possible signs of allergy or intolerance, such as itching, diarrhea or vomiting.
• Do not feed your dog more than one waffle per day and reduce his normal amount of food accordingly so that he does not consume too many calories.
