What’s On the Chick-fil-A Dog Menu?

There’s a good chance that you’ve either visited a Chick-fil-A restaurant or driven past one at some point in your life. 

There is something for everyone on the menu, from classic sandwiches like chicken sandwiches to healthier options like salads. The people in your car aren’t the only ones who can enjoy a Chick-fil-A meal. You can feed your puppy, too. 

You can order Chick-fil-A’s secret dog treat here since it’s not on its menu. Here’s what you need to know about it.

What Can Dogs Eat At The Chick-fil-A Dog menu?

Considering the ingredients in Chick-fil-A’s menu, we decided it would be best to list the core items of their menu and how your dog may be able to eat them.

Here are some things that are “safe” to eat as well as their varying qualities. We will also discuss some items that you should avoid.

So you are fully informed, we will point out things that are highly toxic or unsafe for your dog to eat.

All information should be verified with your trusted professional veterinarian since we are not vets.

Calorie Counting

Pet Obesity Prevention recommends the following daily calorie intake for dogs:

Dogs
10 lbs.	200 to 275 calories
20 lbs.	325 to 400 calories
50 lbs.	700 to 900 calories
70 lbs.	900 to 1050 calories
90 lbs.	1100 to 1350 calories

You’ll notice that many of the Chick-fil-A menu items are almost double the calorie count for dogs weighing 10 pounds and the full daily calorie count for dogs weighing 20 pounds.

Your dog may suffer from obesity if you exceed the recommended nutritional requirements. Obesity causes heart problems, mobility issues, and generally shorter life expectancy.

Is it possible for dogs to eat Chick-fil-A sandwiches?

Chick-fil-A is all about chicken, and there are two classic sandwiches: the chicken sandwich and the grilled chicken sandwich. To see how many calories they have, let’s take a look at the menu.

If you give your dog a Chick-fil-A sandwich instead of dog treats, he will love it!

To keep your pet healthy, you should remove everything but the grilled chicken from Chick-fil-A sandwiches. This means that your dog won’t be exposed to salts, sauces, heavy carbs, onions, and other things that might upset their stomachs.

Sandwich from Chick-fil-A

It is technically safe to feed your dog the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, which contains 400 calories. It consists of a simple bun, toasted and buttered, with a crispy chicken breast.

The chicken is a favorite of your dog. The bread is also safe to eat, but it is unlikely that your dog will want to eat it. The extra carbohydrates are very harmful to your dog over time, but they are not harmful to them in the short term.

In terms of the pickles, they are safe to eat, but they are very high in sodium, which can cause health problems down the road.

Sandwich with grilled chicken

Since grilled chicken contains only 320 calories all in, you are choosing a slightly healthier alternative for your dog. Since the chicken is not as crispy, deep-fried, and heavily salted, it is a dog-friendly menu item from Chick-fil-A because it is leaner and lower in sodium.

Again, your dog probably isn’t in it for the vegetables, so the tomatoes and lettuce won’t hurt him.

You should avoid slathering on some honey-roasted BBQ sauce for your dog as it contains onions and garlic that can cause digestive issues.

Sandwich with spicy chicken

The Chick-fil-A spicy chicken should be avoided when it comes to dogs. It can cause lots of discomfort and illness, and it contains 460-550 calories.

The same thing happens to dogs when they eat spicy food. They get diarrhea, gas, bloating, tummy aches, and all kinds of nasty things.

The situation won’t be fatal for your dog, but you should avoid it as much as possible.

Is Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap safe for my dog?

It’s interesting to note that many Americans prefer the Chick-fil-A wrap over the deep-fried delicacy of the chicken sandwich.

Even looking past the 350 calories, could this be worse for your dog’s health?

The answer is yes.

The avocado lime dressing is a definite no-go here because avocado can be very toxic to dogs, causing many diseases. First of all, many dogs are lactose intolerant despite their best efforts to not be. They love cheese, but cheese doesn’t love them.

No matter how hungry your dog is, this Chick-fil-A wrap should not be consumed by them at any point.

Are Chick-fil-A nuggets safe for dogs to eat?

In the same way, as there are different types of sandwiches, there are two kinds of nuggets. Chick-fil-A nuggets are world-renowned for their quality. Can they be harmful?

Your dog can eat Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets. Here’s what you need to know.

Chick-fil-A nuggets

In terms of calories, Chick-fil-A nuggets aren’t a problem. They do not contain toxins or poisons, nor are they likely to cause stomach upset. However, sodium and fat content present a problem.

Your pet’s arteries can become clogged by the grease associated with regular chicken nuggets because they are breaded and deep-fried.

If we poured all the salt needed to make nuggets as tasty and moreish as they are, you would be shocked. It’s not the worst thing you can give your dog but it isn’t the best either….

Chick-fil-Agrilled nuggets

Having only 130 calories and being grilled, Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets are probably the best thing you can give your dog on the Chick-fil-A menu. The calorie count is lower, the fat is lower, and the salt is lower.

Although the salt content is still high, it is the best choice out of the entire Chick-fil-A menu.

Can dogs eat Chick-fil-A sauce?

Dogs’ delicate stomachs can also be affected by Chick-fil-A’s dipping sauces and dressings. There are so many, so we won’t list them all.

It would be better if you listed what your dog should avoid when it comes to dipping sauces. Avoid anything that contains any of the following ingredients:

• Onions.
• Garlic.
• Sweetener xylitol (highly toxic to dogs).
• Avocado.
• Mustard and mustard seeds.

You should consult your veterinarian for a more comprehensive list of foods they shouldn’t eat.

Are Chick-fil-A fries safe for dogs?

The last question we need to address is whether or not dogs can eat Chick-fil-A fries! Chick-fil-A is famous for its waffle fries, which even with the 420 calories per serving are still a draw for humans.

When we order takeout food, it’s always the fries that get the most adoring glances from our dog.

It is hard to believe that a portion of medium fries has more calories than a grilled chicken sandwich.

One portion of Chick-fil-A fries contains twice the daily recommended intake for some dogs, which is a problem. However, mostly it’s because it is potato and carbohydrates carry a lot of calories.

However, fries have a big problem… can you guess what it is?

That’s right, the salt.

In fast food places, the saltshakers are constantly mixed with the fries, which makes your eyes water. This salt is so unhealthy for your dog.

There is no doubt that Chick-fil-A fries are tasty and tempting, but they are not good for your dog’s health.

At the drive-thru, you can ask for treats

Chick-fil-A does not make dog treats on its premises, but it does give them away. Many restaurants keep dog treats at the counter for dogs on the go, so you can ask for them at the drive-thru window. Wide Open Eats reports that some locations are even offering a “Pup Cup,” a scoop of Icedream topped with a dog treat. It is a big hit with the dogs. 

According to Chick-fil-A’s website, “We love seeing paws and wet noses peeking through the window.” So take your pet along for the ride next time you’re heading to your nearest location.

Conclusion

The server at the drive-thru window hands you the familiar crinkled white paper bag. As you drive home, you smell the food wafting from the car, and you become hungry. When you get home, you tear open the chicken sandwich bag. You breathe deeply as you squeeze it into your hands. Just before you begin to eat, you…

The Chik-fil-A menu is so intensely appealing to your dog that he drools over it.

When you look into those soft puppy eyes, you feel a pang of guilt.

With what we know now, you might want to reconsider giving your pup dog treats from Chick-fil-A.
