Beef jerky is a popular snack made from lean cuts of beef that have been dried and seasoned. While it may be a tasty treat for humans, it is not recommended for dogs.
Beef jerky is high in sodium and can cause dehydration and kidney damage in dogs. In addition, some brands may contain harmful preservatives and additives. If your dog accidentally consumes beef jerky, monitor them closely for symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and excessive thirst. In extreme cases, seek veterinary attention immediately.
Safer alternatives for dogs include lean meats like chicken or turkey, and natural dog treats made from fruits and vegetables.
