I don't think there's any harm in that. Just check the back of the package and look for an ingredient called Xylitol. That substance is toxic to dogs and is used in many foods as a sweetener. In general, always check products for Xylitol, garlic, onions, grapes, macadamia nuts, raisins or chocolate as these are toxic to dogs. I hope this is helpful and please feel free topmost any additional questions.
