While paprika is not toxic to dogs, it can cause digestive issues and dehydration if consumed in excess. The spiciness of paprika can also lead to discomfort in a dog’s mouth and throat.
Paprika is a blend of ground dried peppers from the capsicum annum family, which can include cayenne, hot chili pepper, poblano, and Aleppo peppers. Due to its varying flavors and heat levels, paprika can be harmful to dogs if consumed in large quantities. Excessive consumption can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and digestive irritation, as well as a burning sensation in the mouth and throat.
It is not recommended to feed paprika to dogs as it can lead to digestive discomfort and dehydration. If a small amount of paprika is accidentally consumed, monitor your dog for any adverse reactions and contact a veterinarian if necessary.
