Can Dogs Eat Red Chili Peppers?

No. Chili peppers are not toxic to dogs, however, capsaicin, a component of chili peppers, acts as an extreme irritant to dogs.

Red chili peppers, or any spicy pepper for that matter, can cause digestive upset in your dog. This is because peppers contain capsaicin which acts as an irritant to dogs. So while they might not be toxic, you should avoid giving your dog red chili peppers.

If your dog consumes a red chili pepper, watch out for indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or dehydration. If you notice your dog exhibiting any of these symptoms, call your veterinarian for further guidance.
