Can Dogs Eat Pasta?
Verdict
Safe in moderation
Why it is safe
Plain pasta made from flour, water and egg isn't harmful to dogs. The concern is sauces and toppings, which often contain onion, garlic, cheese, cream or lots of salt.
Safe portion
A few pieces of plain, cooked pasta as an occasional treat.
Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian immediately. In the UK, pet owners can also call Animal PoisonLine (run by the Veterinary Poisons Information Service) on 01202 509000, a 24-hour paid triage service.
