Marmelade

A representation of Marmelade

Marmalade is a popular spread made from fruit boiled down with sugar. But is marmalade also suitable for dogs? In this article, you can find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of marmalade for your four-legged friend.

What is marmalade?

Marmalade is a sweet spread that is usually made from citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons or grapefruits. Sometimes other fruits such as strawberries, raspberries or cherries are also used. To preserve jam, it is cooked with sugar and gelling agents. There are many different types and flavors of jam, which can vary depending on the region and preference.

Is jam good for dogs?

Marmalade is not generally poisonous for dogs, but it is not particularly healthy either. The high sugar content can lead to obesity, tooth decay and diabetes. In addition, the acid can irritate the stomach and the fruit can trigger allergies or intolerances. Therefore, jam should only be fed to dogs in very small quantities and rarely.

 

Marmalade is a delicious spread for humans, but not necessarily for dogs. The high sugar content can lead to health problems and the fruit can cause allergic reactions. If you want to treat your dog to something sweet, opt for special dog jams made from meat and vegetables. These are easier to digest and are sure to taste good to your dog.
