Can dogs eat oatmeal?
🥣 Safe in moderation
Plain cooked oatmeal (no sugar) is a good source of fibre, especially for senior dogs.
The bottom line
Oatmeal is generally safe for dogs in small amounts as an occasional treat, prepared plainly with no added salt, sugar, oil or seasoning. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
For your dog's main diet, what matters most is the food itself. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades.
