What is Tuba?
Tuba, also known as cassava cake or bibingka in the Philippines, is a dessert made from grated cassava, coconut milk, and sugar. It is often topped with cheese or salted egg and baked until golden brown.
Is Tuba Safe for Dogs to Eat?
Unfortunately, cassava contains cyanide, and while humans are able to process small amounts of it without harm, dogs may be more susceptible to its toxic effects. Cyanide can interfere with oxygen transport in cells resulting in respiratory failure and death. Therefore it’s best not to feed your dog any tuba dishes.
What Should I Feed My Dog Instead?
