17. Peppers
Dogs can eat a certain amount of vegetables in their diet, supervised by a professional veterinary nutritionist. In the case of peppers, beware of feeding them hot peppers and jalapeños because, just as with humans, they trigger digestive activity.
What happens if your pet eats it? But your pet’s digestive system is different from yours, and it can cause them gastrointestinal distress and discomfort. Bell peppers and other mild peppers are more tolerable for them and, therefore, can be included in their food. Hot peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, which can cause burning and irritation in the mouth and digestive system of pets. If your pet has ingested a large number of peppers, it’s best to seek veterinary care to ensure their digestive health and to address any symptoms they may be experiencing.
