Can Dogs Eat Macarons? – Nutrition Card

It is unlikely that if you give your dog macarons he will get sick unless he has some sensitivity, but this treat will not contribute any nutrients to his diet and if you give him too much he can be affected.

Why?

Macarons are made with ground almonds

Dogs do not process nuts well, especially almonds which contain oxalic acid, this substance in daily doses can cause kidney problems.

Macarons contain powdered sugar and sugar

Let’s remember that dogs are facultative carnivores, that is, their diet is based mostly on meat and to a lesser extent carbohydrates, sugar is not necessary, fundamental, or useful for their body. But, instead, daily doses can make their liver and pancreas have to work more than necessary and be predisposed to diseases such as obesity.

So it is not that your dog will be intoxicated immediately if you give him macaron, but continuous doses can generate illness.
