FAQs

What is in Krispy Kreme dog donuts? ›

Each treat is designed specifically for dogs of all sizes and ages, made with a hard-baked cookie and ingredients such as pumpkin, peanut butter and carob, a substitute for chocolate.

Can dogs eat cinnamon donuts? ›

Powdered cinnamon can cause irritation, difficulty breathing, or choking, whereas big amounts of the spice can lead to vomiting and diarrhea. Avoid feeding your dog cinnamon-based baked goods as they can contain ingredients that are toxic to dogs, such as chocolate and raisins.

Is Krispy Kreme baked or fried? ›

Like most doughnuts, Krispy Kremes are fried (cooked in oil). Frying cooks the dough rapidly from the outside in to give the doughnuts their distinctive crispy texture. The conveyer belt carries the doughnuts through a vegetable oil bath heated to between 355 and 360 degrees Fahrenheit (about 180 C).

Do dog donuts work as well as cones? ›

If your pet has a short face or doesn't tolerate cones, an inflatable collar may be a better option. The donut-shaped Kong Cloud Collar is ideal for short-nosed dogs because it still prevents them from licking most surgical sites but lets them eat more easily than a traditional cone.

Can dogs have sugar coated donuts? ›

A dog cannot process the sugary sweet ingredients in a donut like a human can. Donuts have certain ingredients which are unhealthy for dogs in large quantities. Some donuts also have caffeine or chocolate, which can kill dogs. In fact, too much sugar and fat can actually lead dogs to develop pancreatitis.

Can dogs have honey and cinnamon? ›

How Much Cinnamon Is Too Much Cinnamon For Dogs? It's recommended by many to mix a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in 1 tbsp of honey for a medium-sized dog. Any more than that, and you risk feeding too much cinnamon. Also: don't feed cinnamon to pregnant dogs.

Why can't dogs have cinnamon? ›

Cinnamon is non-toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. In small amounts, which means one teaspoon or less per serving as an occasional treat, it is perfectly safe and may even offer health benefits. However, in large quantities, it may irritate the mouth or stomach, cause low blood sugar or even liver disease.

What type of cinnamon is safe for dogs? ›

In the U.S., there are two types of cinnamon widely available: ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon. Ceylon Cinnamon is safe for dogs because it has low levels of coumarin, a natural chemical compound found in many plants. Coumarin is toxic in large doses for both dogs and humans.
