Can Dogs Eat Cassia?

No, dogs should not eat cassia cinnamon. It has significantly higher levels of a chemical called coumarin than ceylon cinnamon and is toxic to dogs.

To humans, the difference between cassia cinnamon and ceylon cinnamon is almost indetectable. However, to our feline friends, the difference is monumental. Cassia, or Chinese cinnamon, has significantly higher levels of coumarin, a chemical that is toxic to dogs in large amounts.

Whether dogs consume cassia or ceylon cinnamon, large amounts can cause diarrhea, vomiting, blood sugar problems liver disease, and an abnormal heart rate. If you are concerned about your dog and their symptoms from cinnamon consumption, contact your veterinarian.
