is thiamin mononitrate in cookies ok for my dog?

healthy sandwich cookie recipes image

My dogs love these vanilla sandwich cookies and they have thiamin mononitrate in them and was wondering if they were ok for him to eat. We give him about 3 to 4 a day.

Answer
Thiamine is a vitamin. It is the chemical name for what we know as vitamin B one. Dogs do need thiamine in their diet and it is usually formulated into their kibble. People who feed raw or cook for their dogs should make sure that they are getting the proper nutrition and if they need vitamin supplements to add to their homemade recipes, they should do that.
In answer to your question, no thiamine mononitrate is not harmful to your dog.
On the other hand, feeding your dog 3-4 human sandwich cookies a day is overdosing them on everything else that is totally not nutritious and should NOT be in a dogs diet. Dogs should NOT have sugars...
Hope this was helpful..I do recommend you do some research online and find some dog healthy alternatives to people cookies. Yes, they do love them and they do get addicted to sugar and crave it..just like people. But their systems are not meant to be processing sugar.
There are some great homemade cookies you can bake...containing cheese, oats, flaxseed..try looking at Allrecipes.com or Best-dog-treats.com.
