Can my pet eat this?

Search anything your dog or cat has eaten, or anything you are thinking of sharing. You get a clear answer, how much is actually okay, and what to watch for.

15 foods, 25 answers, every one with its sources listed.

Already eaten something?

Do not wait to see what happens. These lines answer at any hour and can tell you in a few minutes whether this is an emergency or something to watch at home.

Both lines charge a consultation fee.

Start with your pet

The same food can be fine for one animal and a trip to the vet for the other. Cats break things down differently from dogs, so every answer here is written for one species and only that one.

Foods to completely avoid

No safe amount, no small taste, no exceptions. Most people learn these at eleven at night, standing in the kitchen with an empty wrapper. Worth two minutes now instead.

What the labels mean

Every food gets one of four answers. Each one has its own word and its own shape, so you can tell them apart at a glance without relying on the color.

Safe
Fine to share. The page tells you how much and how to prepare it.7 so far
Moderation
Okay now and then, in small amounts. Not an everyday food.4 so far
Caution
It depends. Worth reading first, because the risk turns on something specific.7 so far
Toxic
Never feed this. If your pet has already had some, call today.7 so far

For when you are planning rather than panicking, or when one answer makes you wonder what else in the fruit bowl is a problem.

About this site

isitpetfood.com answers the questions that come up around pets and food. Sometimes you want to know whether you can share a bite of what you are eating. Sometimes your dog got into something on the counter and you need to know how worried to be. Either way, you should not have to dig through a forum thread to find out.

Your vet is still the one who knows your animal, its weight, its history, and what it can handle. Nothing here replaces that. If your pet seems unwell, or you are simply not sure, call them. Trust your gut, too. If something feels off, make the call even if what you read here says it will probably be fine. You know your pet better than any page does.
