Dolma

Dangerous and Harmful for Dogs and Cats

Dolma for Dogs

Dolma is not recommended for dogs because it typically contains spices, salt, onions, and other ingredients that can be harmful to a dog's health. Onions, often used in dolma recipes, are toxic to dogs and can cause the destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia. Salt and spices can irritate the stomach and even cause poisoning.

Additionally, grape leaves used to wrap dolma may be too tough for a dog to digest and can cause digestive problems, especially if seasoned or cooked with oil. If your dog accidentally eats dolma, contact a veterinarian for an assessment and necessary care.

Dolma for Cats

Dolma is also not recommended for cats. The ingredients in dolma, such as onions, spices, and salt, can be toxic to cats and cause serious health issues. Onions are particularly dangerous for cats as they can cause red blood cell destruction, leading to anemia. Salt and spices can irritate the stomach and lead to digestive upset.

The grape leaves and meat used in dolma are also not suitable for cats, especially if prepared with seasonings that could negatively affect their health.

If you suspect that your cat has eaten dolma, contact a veterinarian immediately. Prompt treatment can help prevent serious health complications.
