Can small dogs eat

Soy Crisps

?

Small dogs can be more affected by the salt and calorie density in soy crisps. Even one or two crisps can make up a noticeable portion of their daily intake. This increases the risk of dehydration and weight gain. If offered at all, portions should be very small and infrequent, with attention to ingredient quality and how your dog responds afterward.
