What is Buffalo Sauce?

Buffalo sauce is a sauce made with hot sauce, fat, and other ingredients. You can either buy commercially-prepared buffalo sauce or make it from scratch. Some of the ingredients that may be included in buffalo sauce may include:

  • Vinegar
  • Hot sauce
  • Butter
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Garlic
  • Sugar
  • Lemon

The yummy hot sauce can be used to dress chicken wings, cauliflower, sandwiches, and so much more. Some people even like to cover their scrambled eggs with buffalo sauce! Others enjoy this spicy sauce on vegetables, pizza, and even more!

While buffalo sauce is usually safe for humans (depending on how hot the sauce is!), what about dogs? Can buffalo sauce make a dog sick?

Buffalo Sauce & Dogs

Unfortunately, buffalo sauce is not safe for dogs. The problem is that the spicy sauce can irritate the entire gastrointestinal tract, from the dog’s mouth and throat all the way through to his stomach and intestines.

The digestive problems are caused by the capsaicin in the chili peppers used to make buffalo sauce. In addition, vinegar can also cause irritation. And even worse, garlic, sugar, and lemon are toxic for dogs.

Symptoms of Buffalo Sauce Ingestion in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog eats buffalo sauce:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Ulceration of the mouth & esophagus

If you notice these symptoms in your dog, call the vet immediately. This may be an emergency, depending on how much buffalo sauce your dog has eaten and how severe his symptoms are.

It’s best to call the vet and let them know what’s happened. If possible, let the vet know about what time this happened, too. The ingredients on the product label can also be helpful to the vet (or provide them with the ingredients in the homemade sauce’s recipe).

It’s best to keep buffalo sauce and other hot, spicy foods out of your dog’s reach. Never leave a plate of food unattended. Your dog may be watching for the right opportunity to grab a snack for himself!
