Yeah it took me like ten seconds of confusions to understand what about a pie was being considered sweet. And then ohhhhh maybe they thought it meant a FRUIT pie?
They’ll mostly just get sick to their stomach and or fat. Dogs don’t process sugar very well, but it’s not that horrible for them usually. Worse for small dogs with bad constitution. Chocolate specifically is poisonous for dogs, but again… bigger dogs can often just tank the damage.
Depends on the pie though, dogs are still somewhat omniverous so something like a berry pie without any sugar but what’s already in the berries shouldn’t be too bad.

Wolves have been observed to subsist on almost exclusively blueberries during the height of the season in Yellowstone, so I’d say the glyphosate residue in the flour is much more of a risk than whatever fruit is in the middle.
I also had a childhood dog that got into a bag of Hershey’s Kisses and was just fine. I’m nearly certain it’s because the amount of actual cocoa in it is basically negligible.
I know, right? I always knew there was something off about Hershey’s chocolate, and as soon as I learned about this it all made sense. Now I try to avoid it because once you are aware of it, it will be all you can taste lol.
Also, just not a fan of milk chocolate in general. Give me dark over milk 100% of the time.
my wife’s childhood dog - schnauzer mutt - ate an entire basket of chocolates and sweets that was from valentine’s day. like multiple pounds of assorted fancy chocolate. lived for another 10 years (this was the 80s, I don’t think people grokked the choc / dog thing).
Around 2009 a neighbor lost their pyranese (sp? long haired tall dog) when it ate a single chocolate bar (it was dark and high cacao whole foods stuff). It was just dead when they got home from work, apparently ate it the night before.
seems like a bad gamble to make. but holy hell I can’t keep my dogs from eating random biohazards, dead birds, snails & slugs and god knows what, it’s a miracle they survive as long as they do.
Aren’t sweets like really bad for dogs?
Edit: Don’t hate me, I was just asking a question. I know nothing about dogs.
Meat pie baby

“A pie” is a meat pie around here

Doesn’t mean they don’t love them!
Same for humans basically…
Sweets are really bad for people too, but that doesn’t seem to stop them.
My dog would occasionally get into a bag of Hershey kisses, he lived to be 18 years old
That’s because Hershey’s chocolate isn’t actual chocolate, it’s milk mixed with vomit.
Good to know, I’m cooking chocolate chip cookies this afternoon, I’ll try your homemade substitutes per your suggestion 😁
FYI, the vomit thing is very real: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit_l_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd

Oh damn, I thought you were just taking the piss out of Hershey

frankly, that just tells me about the quality of 80s “fancy” chocolate
