Dogs can eat gelatin, and some experts even believe it is healthy for them, but you shouldn’t give them boxed flavored jello because it is loaded with sugar and occasionally also contains xylitol.

Since every dog is unique and their health is so important, you should, of course, always consult your veterinarian if you have any questions about what to feed your dog.
