Can Dogs Safely Eat NUGGS? 🐶🍗

NUGGS (plant-based chicken nuggets) are not toxic to dogs, but they aren’t an ideal snack. While the primary ingredients (like soy or pea protein) aren’t harmful, many NUGGS contain added salt, oils, and seasonings that can upset your dog’s stomach or lead to long-term health issues like obesity or pancreatitis.

Key Considerations:

✅ Safe in Tiny Amounts: A small, unseasoned piece occasionally is unlikely to harm your pup.
❌ Avoid Regular Feeding: High sodium and processed ingredients aren’t dog-friendly.
⚠️ Watch for Allergies: Some dogs react to soy or other plant-based proteins.

Healthier Alternatives 🥕

Opt for dog-safe snacks like:

• Plain cooked chicken (no seasoning)


• Carrots or green beans


• Commercial dog treats
