Plain sugar marshmallows are poor dog treats because they are sugary and can choke, while any marshmallow containing xylitol or chocolate is a separate urgent toxic exposure.
Marshmallows safety for cats
Marshmallows are not suitable for cats because they are sugary, sticky, and a choking risk; chocolate, xylitol, caffeine, or other mix-ins change the exposure.
