Mustard, in its proper form, poses many potential risks for dogs. While some conditions of mustards, like mustard greens, are beneficial for dogs, mustard and mustard seeds can be highly toxic and fatal for dogs. Let us look at the factors which make mustard terrible for dogs \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A compound called isothiocyanate is present in mustard which can be highly toxic to dogs.

Homemade mustard is a better option, but dogs with high lactose intolerance can adversely affect it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effect of mustard on dogs varies according to age, size, and shape.

However, it is not advisable to feed large amounts of any food that is not part of your dog&#8217;s natural diet.
