Can dogs eat it?

Can dogs eat raspberries?

Yes, in moderation Yes, in moderation. Raspberries are low in sugar and calories, but eat a lot and they can upset the stomach.

Why

Raspberries give fibre, vitamins and antioxidants (AKC). They contain a little natural xylitol, more than most fruits, but far below the dose known to harm dogs, which is why AKC calls them safe in moderation. Too many can cause vomiting or diarrhoea.

How to give it safely

Fresh or frozen, plain and unsweetened, a few at a time. Puppies can have a small amount, introduced gradually.

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