Cooking Oil & Dogs

Some cooking oils are safe for dogs, including olive & flax oils and others. However, some oils can cause an allergic reaction in dogs. For instance, soybean and corn oil can cause an allergic reaction in dogs sensitive to these ingredients. Peanut oil can cause stomachaches in dogs, while other types of oil (such as bacon grease) may contain a lot of salt and other ingredients that are unhealthy for dogs.

What’s more, dogs are very sensitive to too much fat in their diet. Too much fat, even cooking oil, can cause liver disease or even pancreatitis.

Symptoms of Cooking Oil Ingestion in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has eaten cooking oil:

  • Allergic Reaction
  • Itchy, red, irritated skin
  • Biting/licking (due to itchy skin)
  • Hives
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

Symptoms of Pancreatitis in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has drunk a lot of cooking oil:

  • Lethargy
  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Decreased appetite
  • Severe depression
  • Death (if this condition is left untreated)

What to Do if Your Dog Has Had Cooking Oil

If you notice any of the symptoms above, then call the vet immediately. This could be an emergency. Try to see how much oil your dog has ingested and give this information to the vet.

Your veterinarian will be the best person to provide you with guidance and advice on the next steps you need to take to help your dog!
