What You Need to Know
Teriyaki sauce is made from soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and garlic — occasionally ginger. The soy sauce base is extremely high in sodium. The garlic content adds hemolytic anemia risk. The sugar load causes blood sugar disruption. Teriyaki chicken from restaurants or takeout exposes dogs to all these ingredients simultaneously. Never give dogs teriyaki-seasoned food.
