Veterinarians Caution Dog Owners About TikTok Treat Trends That May Harm Pet Health

# Vets Warn TikTok Treat Trends Could Impact Dog Health

Veterinarians are raising concerns about popular dog treat trends on TikTok. These trends may harm pets more than many owners realise. Certain recipes and ideas shared online could lead to serious health issues for dogs.

Experts point out that some ingredients found in these trending treats are unhealthy for dogs. For example, many recipes high in sugar or fat can contribute to obesity and other health problems. “Many owners may not understand that these treats can be harmful,” a vet explained.

Dog owners are encouraged to be cautious about what they give their pets. It's important to stick to commercially available treats approved for dogs. Since some homemade recipes can be dangerous, seeking guidance from a vet is advisable.

The rise of social media has made it easier to share both good and bad information. This can confuse pet owners about what is safe for their dogs. Therefore, it’s essential to check with a qualified healthcare provider before trying new treat ideas.
