Contains sugar

If an ingredient in dog food says "contains sugar", it means that this ingredient contains natural or added sugar. Sugar in dog food can take different forms, such as glucose, fructose, lactose or even more complex sugars like maltose.

Sugar provides quick energy, but it also has some disadvantages, especially when it is present in large quantities. Too much sugar can lead to various health problems in dogs, including

Weight gain and obesity: excess sugar that is not burned as energy can lead to weight gain. In the long term, this can increase the risk of obesity and related health problems.
Dental health: Sugar can contribute to the build-up of dental plaque, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Fluctuations in blood sugar levels: High levels of sugar in the diet can be particularly problematic for dogs that are prone to or already have diabetes. It can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar levels that are difficult to control.
Behavioral changes: Some dogs may react to sugar levels with behavioral changes, such as excessive activity or hyperactivity, followed by a lack of energy.

It's important to keep an eye on your dog's overall diet. An occasional snack with sugar is usually not problematic, but a diet that is permanently high in sugar is not optimal for your dog's health. Make sure to choose mainly foods that are rich in protein, healthy fats and necessary nutrients, and use sugary products only in moderation.
