Important Note: Cinnamon is considered safe for dogs in small amounts, and has some potential health benefits. Cinnamon has antioxidant properties ( may help protect dogs from oxidative stress), anti-inflammatory effects (can help arthritis/joint pain), and can help in blood sugar regulation in diabetic dogs.
However, large amounts of cinnamon can be toxic to dogs. Avoid cinnamon oil as it is highly concentrated, cinnamon sticks as they can be a choking hazard, and consider the potential for allergies within your pup.
Cinnamon Safety: If you want to give your dog cinnamon, it's recommended to consult with your veterinarian first. They can advise you on the appropriate amount and how to administer it safely.However, avoid giving them cinnamon sticks or cinnamon oil.
