Free Tool Food Safety

Can my pet eat this?

A quick way to look up whether a common food is in FaunaHub's pet food safety guides for dogs and cats. Type a food, choose a species if you want to narrow the list, and open the relevant page for a careful, educational overview.

This tool does not diagnose toxicity. If your pet has eaten something potentially dangerous, or is showing vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, tremors, breathing problems, collapse, seizures, bleeding, or sudden behaviour changes — contact a licensed veterinarian or emergency animal clinic immediately. Do not wait for the search results below.

How this tool works

The lookup searches FaunaHub's published dog and cat food safety pages by food name and common alternative names. It is intentionally narrow: it returns links to detailed pages, not numeric "safe" amounts, and it does not generate novel medical advice.

Every food page on FaunaHub is reviewed for tone and caution. We use three broad categories — usually safe in plain small amounts, depends — caution, and usually unsafe — together with a low/moderate/high risk level. None of these labels is a substitute for advice from a licensed veterinarian who knows your specific pet.

When this tool is not enough

Pet food safety can depend on the animal's size, age, health, the amount eaten, how the food was prepared, and individual sensitivity. If you have already given your pet something and are worried, or if the food is not in our current guides, the right next step is professional veterinary advice rather than further searching.
