Chicory is not recommended for dogs, as it contains substances that can cause digestive and nervous system issues. While chicory is sometimes used in small amounts as a dietary supplement to aid digestion, excessive consumption can lead to digestive upset, including vomiting and diarrhea. Chicory-based coffee substitutes also contain substances that can negatively affect a dog's nervous system.
If your dog has accidentally eaten chicory or consumed a chicory-based beverage, consult a veterinarian for assessment and necessary care.
Chicory for Cats
Chicory is also not recommended for cats, as their bodies are more sensitive to various substances. Consuming chicory can cause stomach upset and impact the nervous system of cats. Cats may experience vomiting, diarrhea, increased agitation, and even weakness after consuming chicory.
Never give chicory or chicory-based drinks to cats. If you suspect that your cat has eaten chicory, contact a veterinarian immediately for assistance.
If your pet has accidentally consumed chicory and you notice symptoms of poisoning, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or weakness, contact a veterinarian right away. Prompt treatment can prevent serious health complications.
