Love sharing food with
your pet? Certain summer fruits can be
good for dogs! Here are a few good fruit
choices to feed to your pet!
Good Fruit Choices:
- Bananas – Bananas are a great source of amino acids, electrolytes, minerals, and Vitamins B6 and C. However, bananas also have a moderately high sugar content. They are a better choice for working and athletic dogs that burn high amounts of energy.
- Avocados – Although the pit of an avocado contains persin, which is toxic to pets, the avocado flesh is actually safe to eat.
- Blueberries – Blueberries contain antioxidants, fiber and phytochemicals that can boost your dog’s health!
- Strawberries – Strawberries are high in fiber and vitamin C. They also contain an enzyme that can help whiten your dog’s teeth. Just be careful and feed them in moderation – strawberries can be high in sugar.
- Apples – Apples are full of fiber and vitamins. However, you don’t want to give your dog a whole apple. Slice it up first instead!
- Cantaloupe – Cantaloupe have beta-carotene which can be good for your pet’s vision. Studies show that beta-carotene may even help prevent or reduce the growth of cataracts.
- Watermelon – On hot days, the high fluid content in watermelon can help ward off dehydration!
While these fruits are
great choices for your pet, other fruits can make your pet feel sick. Be sure to avoid feeding your dog grapes,
raisins, holly berries, cherries, juniper berries, baneberries, poke berries,
and mistletoe berries. These fruits can
upset your dog’s stomach.
