Context
Cicadas are not poisonous to dogs, and owners shouldn t be particularly worried if their dogs eat a few. However, eating a lot of cicadas could cause digestion problems for dogs.
Origin
As Brood X cicadas emerged across the United States after 17 years, many pet owners had a worrying concern: What happens if my dog eats a cicada? Are cicadas poisonous?
The good news is that cicadas are not poisonous. The bad news is that Brood X is one of the largest broods of the 17-year-cicadas, giving dogs ample opportunities to snack on these strange bugs, and eating too many cicadas could cause digestive problems.
