Maybe. Sugar is unhealthy for dogs, but a small quantity of Skittles is unlikely to harm your dog. Candies containing xylitol, chocolate, or raisins can kill your dog, so you should always check ingredients before giving your pet any type of candy. With minimal nutritional value, Skittles aren’t the best option. But as an occasional snack, they pose few risks, unless your pet’s health is already compromised.
If your dog eats Skittles, watch for these symptoms of increased blood sugar:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Loss of appetite
