Can Dogs Eat Whipped Cream? {What You Need To Know}

In: Can Dogs Eat, Dog Care

I know you’re feeling bad that your dog is staring you down, watching you eat that piece of pie with whipped cream on top, and you want to give your dog some, but you’re wondering can dogs eat whipped cream?

Who doesn’t like sharing a special treat with their furry friend? 🙂

So let’s talk about it.

Can Dogs Eat Whipped Cream? Yes or No?

The truth is yes, dogs can have whipped cream, but no, you shouldn’t feed it to them… 

Don’t worry… in this post. I’ll go over exactly what I mean.

Here it is:

Whipped cream will not harm your dog if, and I say if, you decide to feed it to them for a little treat once in a blue moon. So yes, dogs can eat whipped cream, but it’s not healthy for them.

If you give it to your pup, make it a sample size… you know, just like when you see people giving out those samples in Costco, that’s the amount I’m talking about. 

You see:

The truth is that whipped cream has no nutritional value for them. We should only be feeding our dogs healthy treats – even though you see them staring out at you with those puppy eyes, DO NOT GIVE IN. 

I know, I know, it’s tough to do. I find it hard when my two dogs are sitting at my feet, looking up at me with those cute faces and drool dripping out of their mouths – so what do I do? I turn my back and don’t look at them.

Honestly, they will get the hint and move on to doing something else and forget about it.


Know What Whipped Cream Is Made Of Before Feeding It To Your Dog

Most of the time, we don’t take the time to look into what food is made of before feeding it to our dogs. 

We just think because we can eat it so, can they?

But that’s not smart to do. We should be taking the time to see what the food is made of first… 

You being here reading this shows me you feel the same way. And I’m happy to see that because, like I always say, ‘we owe it to our dogs to keep them happy and healthy” that’s how we can show our love back to them for all the love they give us. 

Don’t you agree?

Here are some facts to look at:

Let’s go over the ingredients of whipped cream. 

According to Wikipedia, whipped cream is made of fats from cream.

Whipped Cream In the Can:

  • Cream
  • Water
  • Sugar
  • Corn Syrup
  • Nonfat Milk 
  •  Mon-And Diglycerides (less than 2%)
  • Natural Flavor (less than 2%)
  • Carrageenan (less than 2%0
  • Propellant: Nitrous Oxide 

Note: The above Ingredient list is from the Reddiwip website from its original whipped cream product. They also have flavored whipped cream and cover their ingredients on their website as well. 

Homemade Whipped Cream is usually made with three ingredients:

  • heavy cream
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla, or sometimes people add chocolate (Chocolate is poisonous to dogs, so never feed your dog anything that is made from chocolate)

Why Dogs Shouldn’t Eat Whipped Cream

You can see that whipped cream doesn’t have any good nutritional value for our dogs from the ingredients above.  

Since it’s made of mainly fats and dairy by feeding whipped cream to our dogs, all it’s going to do is give your pup calories they don’t need. 

Then what could happen next is…all those added calories they just consumed could turn into weight gain that could lead to other health risks down the road.

Stick to healthy treats – they won’t even know they’re missing out on the whipped cream.


No time to finish reading… Save the image below to Pinterest to come back to it later.

Can Dogs Eat Whipped Cream?

What Happens if Your Dog Over Eats Whipped Cream

OK, so if you go ahead and give your pup a sample taste, they will most likely be fine, but here are a few symptoms that can pop up if your dog happens to eat too much of the whipping cream, just in case.

Be aware of these signs:

1. The whipped cream can upset your dog’s stomach and cause diarrhea because of the dairy.

 2. Your dog can gain weight, leading to other health concerns such as arthritis. 

3. Some dogs are lactose-intolerant, especially the smaller breeds, and again will make them sick with diarrhea and stomach pains. ( Listen out for the rumbling sounds from the stomach that could be a sign of discomfort or hunger.)


What You Can Feed Your Dog Instead Of Whipped Cream

As I said, a small sample tasting will not harm your pup.

Still, if you really want to feed your dog whipped cream, then go over to this site rover.com; they have a coconut whipped cream recipe for dogs on there that is a much better option made from canned coconut milk so go check it out on their website. 

You can also give your dog good ole peanut butter… put it on a spoon and let them lick away.

They will love it just as much.


Feeding Your Dog Whipped Cream

So you see – when answering the question, “Can dog’s eat whipped cream?“

It comes down to saying that it’s just not healthy to feed your dog whipped cream.

So you’re better off with an alternative like the homemade coconut whipped cream or, better yet, peanut butter or some cut veggies for a treat.

Your dog will still love you even if they didn’t have that sampling of whipped cream. 🙂

    This is good information. Whipped cream is definitely not something that I will feed to my pets intentionally. Our two prefer homemade peanut butter treats and carrots. However, it’s always good to know that there won’t be any serious effects if our dogs happen to steal a taste of something they shouldn’t lol

    This is useful information. My pets will not get anything from me intentionally including whipped cream. Our dogs prefer carrots and peanut butter treats. Nevertheless, it’s always a comfort to know that our pets will not suffer any serious consequences if they dig into something they shouldn’t
