Can Dogs Eat Cinnamon?
Is It Really Safe for Your Dog to Eat Cinnamon? Read more to find out.
Cinnamon in small amounts should be safe for dogs. Some dog treats and mints even use cinnamon as an ingredient. Some people have sprinkled cinnamon on foods for their dog, without any dangerous effects. But aside from that, there’s no reason or benefit to feed dogs cinnamon. Cinnamon’s not even really a food – it’s a spice. Plus, large amounts of anything unusual almost always causes dogs some digestive trouble.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on the other hand may cause gas or bloating but that’s most likely due to other ingredients in the cereal and not particularly the cinnamon.

I felt I should add this because I couldn’t find any information on cinnamon allergies in dogs. I have a Boston Terrier and this morning my daughter (1 yr old) spilled a plate of cinnamon toast that my BT scarfed down before anyone could get it cleaned up. A short time later I noticed a rash appearing on her chest, mid-section, underarms, groin area and the underside of her mouth. The rash was very splotchy and puffy in places as well as hot to the touch. She was obviously uncomfortable and scratching non stop. I gave her benadryl a couple times and covered her in hydrocortisone cream. Its helping a little, but not much. Just wanted to post this for anyone who might be having a “cinnamon issue” with their pup.

Yes, it is safe for a dog to eat cinnamon. I would only put some in treats, food, snacks, etc. Also, cinnamon is not a food, it is a spice. So, I would pay close attention to how much your dog consumes.

I have two daschunds and I noticed that there are ants in my home. I read online that ants don’t like Cinnamon, and I think I will try sprinkling it a little bit around the house, where ants congregate.
It sounds like a little cinnamon won’t hurt the dogs,though I shall have benadryl on hand just in case…
