What You Need to Know
Cotton candy is essentially 100% sugar in a fluffy form. A single serving contains as much sugar as several teaspoons of table sugar — far beyond what any dog should consume. There is no nutritional value whatsoever. The bright artificial colors used in many cotton candy varieties cause additional digestive irritation. Never give dogs cotton candy under any circumstances.
