Dogs can safely eat a variety of fruits that provide vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Some of the most common safe fruits for dogs include apples (without seeds and core), bananas, blueberries, watermelon (without seeds and rind), strawberries, pineapple (without skin and core), peaches (without pit), mangoes, cantaloupe, cranberries, raspberries, oranges (in moderation and without peel), and pears. Key points to remember:
- Always remove seeds, cores, pits, and rinds that can be harmful or cause choking.
- Feed fruits in moderation as occasional treats due to sugar content and potential stomach upset.
- Avoid toxic fruits like grapes, raisins, and parts of avocados (except the flesh in small amounts).
This variety of fruits provides dogs with essential vitamins such as A, C, and B6, antioxidants, potassium, and fiber which contribute to their overall health and immune system support.
