Can my dog eat Jalapeño peppers? Not safe for dogs to eat

Check Price on Amazon

 

Jalapeño peppers can be quite hot and spicy. Jalapeños originated in Mexico, but are now available in most stores, especially in the foreign food aisle. These peppers are often used in Mexican dishes. These hot peppers are full of Vitamins C & A, and contain high amounts of capsaicin, the substance which gives peppers their hot, spicy taste.

Can my dog eat jalapeño peppers? Jalapeños are not recommended for your dog. These spicy peppers are not toxic to dogs but present another danger. Can my puppy eat jalapeños? No, puppies should never eat this spicy pepper. The problem with hot peppers, in general, comes from the capsaicin (capsicum). If your puppy or dog ate a small piece of pepper, he would probably be OK. However, if he eats one whole pepper or more, then the capsaicin in the pepper could burn his throat and stomach, and then cause digestive problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, excess gas, etc. So, it’s best not to feed jalapeño peppers to your fur baby.

Whenever my dog eats any hot pepper (most times accidentally), the first symptom she gives off is diarrhea. By that, I know she has eaten something she shouldn’t have eaten again. I’m not a fan of Jalapeno though so I don’t see as something that’s going to be a problem for my dog at all.

Oops! That pepper is even capable of causing diarrhea in humans if taken in excess not to mention what it can do in small creatures like puppies and kitties.

Is it that serious? I have never come across the pepper. Perhaps it’s because I am not a fan of Mexican dishes. Maybe I would have known how spicy it can be.

Do I need to take my dog to see the vet if he eats a couple of this pepper or are there any home remedies that can help?
