What is Ketchup?

Ketchup is a condiment or sauce, which is made from tomatoes and other ingredients. It’s used on a wide variety of foods to add flavor. This sauce has a tangy, sweet flavor, which is one of the reasons, so many kids love this condiment!

Ketchup is used on so many things, including French fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, and so much more. It’s also used as an ingredient in recipes for meatloaf and other dishes. This is how yummy and popular ketchup has become. You’re sure to find this condiment in most homes these days!

The ingredients used to make ketchup generally include:

  • Tomato sauce
  • Onions

Ketchup & Dogs

Ketchup is really not very good for dogs. This is because it contains some ingredients that are toxic to dogs, including tomatoes, garlic, onions, and more. In addition, commercially prepared ketchup usually also includes preservatives, which can also be harmful to dogs.

This condiment also contains cinnamon, salt, and sugar, which can make dogs sick.

What Happens if Your Dog Eats Ketchup?

If your fur baby happens to have a lick or two of ketchup, chances are he will be OK. The number of harmful ingredients will be too small to cause any harm.

Dogs that eat ketchup on a regular basis could also be in danger of becoming overweight or obese. Obesity can lead to very serious medical problems such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes, and more.

However, if your dog has a larger amount of ketchup, then he could become sick. You’ll need to watch for these and other symptoms if your dog has a lot of ketchup:

  • Reddish urine
  • Loss of appetite
  • Pale gums
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness

If your dog shows any of these symptoms, then it’s time to call the vet. This could be a medical emergency.

As you can see, it’s never a good idea to let your dog have ketchup. Accidents do happen, though, and it’s easy for a dog to gain access to something he really wants! However, it’s best to keep ketchup and other condiments out of your dog’s reach. Something as simple as ketchup can make a dog very sick. So, keep your dog away from ketchup, and you’ll both be happy!
