Can dogs eat it?

Can dogs eat blueberries?

Yes, in moderation Yes. Blueberries are low in calories and full of antioxidants, and most dogs love them.

Why

Blueberries give vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants for few calories (AKC), and an emergency vet quoted by AKC suggests them as one of the first fruits to try because they are lower in sugar. PDSA lists them among dog-friendly fruits.

How to give it safely

Wash them. Fresh or frozen both work, and they are small enough to give whole, but AKC notes a choking risk for smaller dogs, so watch small breeds and puppies.

This is general guidance, your vet sets the actual schedule. Puppies, small dogs and dogs with a health condition can react to smaller amounts. Check with your own vet before changing what your dog eats.

Other foods people ask about

Apples Yes, in moderation Yes. Apple slices are a good low calorie treat. Remove the core and seeds first. Apricots Yes, in moderation Yes, a little fresh flesh with the stone removed. Never the stone, kernel, stem or leaves, which contain cyanide compounds. Avocado Only with care Best avoided. The flesh is low risk, but the stone can block the gut, the skin and leaves contain persin, and guacamole has onion. Bananas Yes, in moderation Yes, in small amounts. Banana is a fine occasional treat, but it is high in sugar. Peel it first. Blackberries Yes, in moderation Yes. Fresh blackberries are a low calorie treat. Wash them and keep the portion small. Cantaloupe and melon Yes, in moderation Yes, in moderation. Melon flesh is a hydrating, low calorie treat. Remove the rind and seeds.
