Thank you for visiting PetCoach today to determine if you can feed your dog whole wheat [bread](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/bread/). Yes, dogs can eat bread, including whole wheat bread, but it is not recommended to feed him this more so than any other treat. I recommend less than 1 piece a day. The biggest concern with giving your dog bread is weight gain. Avoid giving your dog bread with butter or olive oil, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. Never give your dog breads containing [raisins](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/raisins) or [garlic](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/garlic), as these are toxic to dogs. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
