Can pets eat Granola?

Avoid feeding granola. It commonly contains raisins, chocolate, or macadamia nuts that are toxic to pets. Even plain granola is high in sugar and fat with no nutritional benefit. Granola is baked oats mixed with oil and sweeteners, then stirred with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Sold loose, in bags, or pressed into granola bars. Used as a yogurt topping, trail mix component, and snack cluster. Crumbs and loose bits are easy to drop and spill. Common add-ins include raisins, chocolate, and macadamia nuts. Some brands add yogurt chips, protein powders, or candy coatings that increase sugar and fat density. Flavored granolas often include coconut chips and chocolate pieces.
