What is Italian Dressing?

Italian dressing is a type of salad dressing, which is also sometimes referred to as a vinaigrette. The dressing is very popular in American cuisine and usually contains oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), sugar, herbs (may include oregano, basil, dill, salt, & pepper), along with garlic and onion. If you have cream Italian, then the ingredients can also include milk and stabilizers.

Italian dressing may be made at home from scratch or be prepared commercially. It’s interesting to note that the recipe for this dressing doesn’t really come from Italy!

Italian dressing may be used in a number of ways, including as a salad dressing, a marinade, in stir-fries, on sandwiches, on pasta, and more.

While it can be a healthy dressing for pet parents, what about for dogs? Is Italian dressing safe for dogs?

Italian Dressing & Dogs

Italian dressing does contain some ingredients that can be harmful to dogs. These ingredients include oil, sugar, onion, and garlic. However, your dog would have to drink quite a bit of salad dressing to get sick. If your dog has one or two licks of Italian dressing, chances are he will be OK.

However, if he drinks an entire bottle of dressing, then he could become very sick.

Symptoms of Italian Dressing Ingestion in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has drunk Italian dressing:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

In most cases, these symptoms should not last longer than 24 hours. If they do, then it’s time to call the vet. Repeated bouts of diarrhea and vomiting can cause dehydration.

The good news is that your dog should make a fast recovery if he ate too much Italian dressing! As always, prevention is the best medicine. So, be sure to keep Italian dressing away from your dog. Don’t leave salads or other foods left unattended, or your fur baby may try to help himself!
