While small amounts of white peppercorns are generally safe for dogs, excessive consumption can lead to digestive issues, vomiting, and burning sensations.
White peppercorns contain antioxidants and flavonoids that can boost a dog’s immunity and promote healthy blood circulation. Additionally, the capsaicin in white pepper has anti-inflammatory properties that may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like arthritis and heart disease.
Dogs may experience a burning sensation in their mouth, throat, and stomach if they consume too much white pepper. Other potential side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea. Additionally, ground white pepper can irritate a dog’s nose and block their nasal passage if inhaled accidentally.
A small amount of white pepper can be added to a dog’s meal occasionally, but it should not be a regular part of their diet. It’s important to monitor your dog’s reaction to white pepper and discontinue use if any negative side effects occur.
