During a birthday party, my dog kept trying to eat the pepperoni slices on the pizza, is that a problem?

A few small pieces of pepperoni are not likely to cause an emergency, but they should be given sparingly. Pepperoni is high in salt, fat, and spicy seasonings, which can be hard on a dog’s stomach and may lead to pancreatitis if over‑consumed. Offer only a tiny bite as a treat and keep the rest of the pizza out of reach during parties. Watch for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive thirst after your dog has tasted it. If any concerning symptoms develop, give your veterinarian a call for guidance.
