Easter is a time to treat yourself and your nearest and dearest, so it's only right to spoil your feline family members, too. But, while we humans can subsist on chocolate eggs, hot cross buns, and roast dinners (for a few days, anyway), cats require a more specialist diet. As a result, many common Easter treats and foods can make them ill. Here are a few to avoid:

-Chocolate
-Hot cross buns
-Onions and garlic
-Raisins

04/15/2025

Unfortunately, most of our favorite Easter treats are dangerous for our dogs. Some of these foods, like chocolate bunnies, are toxic for dogs. Other Easter foods may be dangerous because they’re usually prepared with ingredients that are toxic for dogs, like onions, or garlic. Other Easter snacks have high levels of salt or sugar, which can upset your dog’s stomach and aren’t healthy for them to eat.

Some common Easter foods you should keep away from dogs include:

-Deviled eggs
-Ham
-Cookies
-Cakes
-Chocolate eggs
-Candy
-Mashed/twice-baked potatoes
-Green beans, if prepared with butter or spices (plain green beans are safe to share with your dog)

As you’re getting ready for the arrival of the Easter Bunny, don’t forget to plan for how your dog will be involved in the holiday. Many of our favorite Easter treats and traditions can be dangerous for our dogs, but with some preparation, you’ll be able to enjoy your family traditions and keep your dog safe at the same time.

The primary safety issue of Easter egg hunts for dogs is the plastic eggs, and everything put inside them. Dogs can grab and open the eggs, possibly chewing or swallowing the plastic, which could cut their mouth or cause an obstruction. Hidden chocolate and candy in Easter eggs can be especially harmful. Easter eggs also often come with small plastic and rubber toys which, if ingested, could be hazardous to your dog. It’s best to keep your dog away from any egg hunts by keeping them on a leash or in another area of your home.

If you’re hosting an Easter egg hunt, keep track of all the places where the eggs are hidden. Once the event is over, be sure to double-check that all the eggs have been found. Ensure that none have been left where your dog can find them or sitting out at a level where your dog can reach. Before letting out your dog, check your yard for any candy wrappers that may have accidentally been discarded.
