Can Dogs Eat Khari Biscuit? Benefits, Risks & Indian Serving Tips
4 min read · Updated August 2026
Khari biscuits are not toxic to dogs, but they're made with a significant amount of butter or oil and salt, making them an occasional taste at most rather than a regular treat.
Why Khari Biscuit Is Caution for Dogs
Khari Biscuit is a flaky, salted, layered puff-pastry biscuit, popular as an Indian bakery snack.
The laminated pastry technique that gives khari its flaky texture relies on a large proportion of butter or vanaspati worked into the dough, plus a generous salting, the fat and salt combination is the concern, not any single toxic ingredient.
