Can Dogs Eat Sausages?

Verdict
Feed with caution

Why it is risky

Sausages are usually high in fat and salt, and many UK sausages and sausage meat contain onion, garlic or seasoning mixes that are toxic to dogs. Sausage rolls and stuffing add pastry and more fat.

Safe portion

Best avoided. Plain cooked chicken or turkey makes a safer high-value 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.
