Can dogs eat Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats? 

It’s not advisable to give your dog these Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats. While the crispy rice cereal is fine for your dogs to eat (rice is often an ingredient used to fill out dog food), the marshmallows are high in sugar and are not healthy for your pup. 

And while your dog will probably be fine if he or she eats some butter, it’s not recommended that you feed it to your dog on purpose. So the short answer? No!
