Is cinnamon safe for dogs?
Cinnamon is generally safe for dogs in small amounts, but it's important to use it in moderation. Cinnamon can provide certain health benefits for dogs, such as its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It may also help regulate blood sugar levels and improve brain function in older dogs.
Some dogs may have allergies or sensitivities to cinnamon. If you're introducing cinnamon to your dog's diet for the first time, monitor them closely for any adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal upset, skin irritation, or allergic reactions.
Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.
