Habanero chilis are one of the hottest peppers available. They’re not usually eaten raw—you’ll find them most often made into hot sauce, salsas and more.

Can my dog eat habanero chilis? No, these are not recommended for your fur baby. Habanero chilis contain high levels of capsicum, which gives the peppers their hot, spicy flavor. Capsicum isn’t toxic to dogs, but it can cause serious burns/irritation to his mouth, throat and digestive system. Can my puppy eat habanero chilis? No, puppies should not eat these chili peppers. My puppy ate some habanero chili, what should I do? If your puppy has eaten these chilis, then be sure to take him to the vet right away. He could experience burning of his mouth and throat, vomiting, and diarrhea. After the chilis are digested, he may even experience pain when defecating.
