Can Dogs Eat Cheerios? When it is or isn’t an Emergency

Yes, it’s safe for dogs to eat Cheerios in small amounts but that doesn’t mean it’s good for the dogs either. Cheerios may be considered “healthier” than other popular cereal brands because of its relatively low sugar content, although certain flavors of Cheerios may have a high sugar content and should be avoided.

Cheerio is mostly a filler treat and you are better off feeding your dog a treat that’s healthier and tastier. If you do decide to give your dog some cheerios then make sure to not serve the cereal with milk. Lactose intolerance is fairly commong among dogs so they should not be fed dairy products.
