🐱 Can cats eat this? →Why
A little plain white or wheat bread is usually harmless filler, though it offers no real nutrition. The serious hazard is uncooked yeast dough: it keeps rising in the warm stomach and ferments into alcohol, which can cause painful bloating and alcohol poisoning.
How much matters
Never let a dog eat raw yeast dough — treat that as an emergency.
If you do share it
Only a small piece of plain, fully baked bread occasionally. Avoid loaves with raisins, garlic, seeds or xylitol.
