FAQs About Icing For Dog Treats
Why Do I Need To Make Special Icing For My Dog?
Human icing is very high in sugar, so it is not suitable for consumption for dogs. If you have a dog that is diabetic, you will need to talk to your vet about giving your dog any icing, as even a small amount of honey or sugar may make your dog unwell.
Will Icing Upset My Dog’s Tummy?
Icing for dogs, including this recipe, is designed to be as gentle as possible, so, ideally, it shouldn’t cause any issues. If you have an older dog or a dog with a sensitive tummy, adding anything new to their diet may cause an upset tummy, so always check with your vet first.
