Is carob safe for dogs to eat?

Carob is generally considered safe for dogs to eat in small amounts. It is a nutritious treat that is low in sugar and high in fiber. However, it is important to note that carob can be toxic to dogs if they consume too much. Theobromine, a compound found in carob, is toxic to dogs and can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, and urination, agitation, tremors, seizures, and even death. The exact amount of carob that is toxic to a dog depends on the size and weight of the dog. Therefore, it is important to feed carob to dogs in moderation and avoid giving them large amounts. If you are unsure about whether or not it is safe to give your dog carob, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian.
