Why does my dog like jalapenos? Here’s What to Do Next

How Do Dogs Respond to Spice Levels of Foods?

Dogs cannot feel the “hotness” in certain foods. The chemical that causes humans to feel heat when eating hot peppers does not exist in the canine palette. While dogs have taste buds similar to humans, there is no capsaicin present in their mouth to feel the heat/spice of a jalapeno.

Spicy food isn’t “bad” for them. Unless your dog has an allergy or sensitivity to spicy foods, they won’t automatically have a bad reaction to eating these types of food. The issue is more with gastrointestinal problems or a food allergy they may have.

If your dog has an adverse reaction to spiciness, it may exhibit the following signs:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Drooling
  • Excessive panting
  • Excessive thirst
  • Rubbing mouth/tongue on floor or carpet to relieve mouth pain
  • Flared nostrils
  • Itchiness around ears, mouth, and feet
  • While most dogs can eat a small amount of jalapenos without issue, avoid letting your growing puppy near them. Their immune systems are not as strong as adult dogs yet.

    However, if the pup accidentally eats one and experiences mouth irritation, your veterinarian may recommend an antacid or providing cool water to reduce the heat of the peppers.

    Why does my dog like jalapenos?

    The membrane of the stem where capsaicin resides can be highly irritating to your dog’s mouth and throat. Dogs may attempt to chew through this part of the pepper but quickly realize it hurts their mouth, making them stop chewing immediately after trying it out once or twice.

    Like the stems, the part of the plant that holds and contains capsaicin makes this an irritant for dogs. This is where most spicy action occurs in jalapenos, so it’s best to avoid letting your dog eat parts of this plant or food if they contain them.

    Speaking of taste, dogs have a unique sense of taste (in addition to having a fantastic sense of smell). They can detect certain flavors that we cannot even imagine – including a special taste bud for water. However, they don’t necessarily notice spice.

    When a dog tastes something spicy, they will only pick up on the bitter and sour aspects. The bitter and sour taste buds are on the back of the tongue, so it may take a minute for a dog to react to tasting something spicy or hot. Usually, they don’t like this taste.

    Why does my dog like jalapenos?

    While they have fewer taste buds than ours, 1700 compared to our 9000, their sense of smell works in cohesion with taste. Dogs can also taste their food through smell. This particular smell receptor favors meaty and fatty aromas. Spicy food (especially spicy meat) usually smells delicious, so it is feasible that some dogs may seek out certain spicy dishes based on the smell.

    Of course, there is another reason why your dog may want to taste a particular spicy dish. Your dog may want to help you eat a taco, curry chicken, or chili meat because it is meat, and it is simply not attracted to the spice. They have unique taste buds just for meat.

    With that said, there is no reason to intentionally feed a dog spicy food, especially from outside the home. Dogs often seek out a taste of our chocolate bar, but we simply must not oblige unless we want them to get sick. Whether or not dogs enjoy spicy human food, it is not ideal for their digestive system over time.

    While jalapenos are not toxic to dogs, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are actually something our pups should be eating. The reason for this is because it can have a very unpleasant and in some cases negative effect on their gastrointestinal tract.

    While we don’t recommend letting our dogs eat people food, there is something to be said for adding fresh foods to their diet, and using fresh produce to make treats for our pups. But what about things like jalapenos?

    According to Wag Walking, “Dogs that eat jalapenos can experience stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, foul-smelling gas, and can show signs of dehydration or excessive thirst.”

    If you happen to be a fan of spicy foods, you might be wondering if it was safe to share those spicier dishes with your dog. After all, sometimes that loaded nacho falls on the floor or the stuffing in your taco decides to make a run for it. And that’s where the mighty jalapeno comes into play.

    We are always trying to figure out which fresh vegetables and fruits our dogs can and cannot eat. And when it comes to the jalapeno, it is definitely a no from us.

    What Should I Do If My Dog ate jalapeno pepper?

    Take an instance where your dog ate so many jalapenos or starts getting uneasy after having even single jalapeno; follow the following steps to handle this situation;

  • Curb their Anxiety: Firstly, give them water to drink if they get anxious after eating jalapenos. In a situation your pup still doesn’t feel good after drinking water, give them milk to neutralize spiciness on their taste buds.
  • Place them in a selected area in your house: As such the dog won’t feel much spicy in the mouth. However, it might feel nauseous or start releasing frequent stools. To avoid the mess in your house, firstly place them in one good spot. Let them release all the jalapeno seeds out of their system.
  • Painless stooling: Normally, your dog might feel hard to stool the next morning or on the same day due to the spiciness of jalapeno seeds. To avoid that, give them goat’s milk in advance to help them pass stools comfortably.
  • Light diet: After episodes of vomiting and diarrhea, keep your dog on a simple diet of boneless meat, boiled rice, and goat’s milk for a day or two.
  • Out of misfortune, if your dog comes out to be allergic to jalapenos and starts showing symptoms difficult to handle, consult your pup’s vet immediately.

    Even if your furry friend shows no severe symptoms, abnormalities, or uneasiness on the first time eating jalapenos, still, we don’t suggest you give them jalapeno pepper for the long run.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” ul_font_size=”16px” ul_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ul_font_size_tablet=”16px” ul_font_size_phone=”15px” ul_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”22px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” header_font_size__hover=”30px” header_font_size__hover_enabled=”30px” header_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_2_font_size__hover=”26px” header_2_font_size__hover_enabled=”26px” header_2_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_2_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_2_line_height__hover=”1em” header_2_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_2_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_2_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_2_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_2_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_3_font_size__hover=”22px” header_3_font_size__hover_enabled=”22px” header_3_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_3_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_3_line_height__hover=”1em” header_3_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_4_font_size__hover=”18px” header_4_font_size__hover_enabled=”18px” header_4_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_4_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_4_line_height__hover=”1em” header_4_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_4_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_4_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_4_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_4_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_font_size__hover=”16px” header_5_font_size__hover_enabled=”16px” header_5_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_5_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_5_line_height__hover=”1em” header_5_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_5_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_5_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_5_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_6_font_size__hover=”14px” header_6_font_size__hover_enabled=”14px” header_6_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_6_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_6_line_height__hover=”1em” header_6_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_6_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_6_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_6_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_6_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” text_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” text_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” text_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” text_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” text_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” text_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)”]

    No matter how tasty you find flaming hot Cheetos, it would be best if you never give hot Cheetos to your dog. Although dogs have weak taste receptors for spicy food, you should still not feed them anything that contains chili. It will be harmful to the dog’s gut health, and your dog might show instant symptoms like nausea, vomiting, etc. Other than chili, other ingredients like garlic and onion are also not good for your dog.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” ul_font_size=”16px” ul_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”Work Sans|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ul_font_size_tablet=”16px” ul_font_size_phone=”15px” ul_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”22px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” header_font_size__hover=”30px” header_font_size__hover_enabled=”30px” header_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_2_font_size__hover=”26px” header_2_font_size__hover_enabled=”26px” header_2_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_2_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_2_line_height__hover=”1em” header_2_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_2_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_2_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_2_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_2_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_3_font_size__hover=”22px” header_3_font_size__hover_enabled=”22px” header_3_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_3_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_3_line_height__hover=”1em” header_3_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_3_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_3_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_4_font_size__hover=”18px” header_4_font_size__hover_enabled=”18px” header_4_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_4_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_4_line_height__hover=”1em” header_4_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_4_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_4_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_4_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_4_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_font_size__hover=”16px” header_5_font_size__hover_enabled=”16px” header_5_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_5_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_5_line_height__hover=”1em” header_5_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_5_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_5_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_5_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_5_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_6_font_size__hover=”14px” header_6_font_size__hover_enabled=”14px” header_6_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” header_6_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” header_6_line_height__hover=”1em” header_6_line_height__hover_enabled=”1em” header_6_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” header_6_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” header_6_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” header_6_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” text_letter_spacing__hover=”0px” text_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”0px” text_text_shadow_style__hover=”none” text_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=”none” text_text_shadow_color__hover=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)” text_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”rgba(0,0,0,0.4)”]

    Just like any other human food, veterinarians deny pet owners to feed anything they eat their dogs too. Even though it’s tough to ignore those puppy eye tricks that they play with us whenever we start to eat something. With that being said, as pet parents, we are responsible for taking care of our furry babies’ health. Try to ignore those puppy eyes and feed them something that is best for them.

    For example, you have Serrano peppers, Cayenne peppers, Habanero peppers, Bell peppers and, the subject of today’s article, Jalapeno peppers.

    Given the fact that certain kinds of peppers such as bell peppers can make for an excellent and safe treat for Fido, while other types of peppers are strictly off limits for canines at all times, on which side of these two extremities do Jalapenos stand?
