Xylitol: Some sugar-free jellies contain xylitol, among other artificial sweeteners. Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs; even a tiny amount can lead to severe health issues. Therefore, you should never give your dog jelly containing xylitol or other sweeteners.

The Potential Risks of Grape Jelly for Dogs It is important to note that grape jelly, made from grapes, can harm dogs. Grapes contain toxic substances that can cause kidney failure in dogs. The potential side effects of dogs consuming grape jelly include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and kidney damage.

Dogs should not consume jelly due to the sugar content and any potential toxic ingredients such as artificial sweeteners like xylitol. It's best to opt for homemade jelly treats or vet-approved jelly mixes specifically formulated for canine consumption to ensure their safety and avoid such harmful ingredients.

Only use unflavored and unsweetened gelatin for your dogs to make it a healthy treat. For an adult dog, gelatin can make up half of their dietary protein intake. However, always start slowly when introducing a new ingredient to your dog. We recommend just two teaspoons a day for a 50 to 75 lb dog.
