Flaxseed

Is flaxseed poisonous to dogs? I often give my dog bread that contains flaxseed.

Dear Akiko,

Flaxseed isn't known to be poisonous to pets. However, if too much is ingested, it can cause gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting and diarrhea.  As long as the bread doesn’t contain any harmful ingredients, and you only dispense it in small amounts, we wouldn't expect any problems.
