Safe fruit rules for dogs
Dog‑safe fruits like apples without seeds, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon without rind or seeds, pineapple, and mango can add fiber, hydration, and vitamins when they replace higher‑calorie processed treats. Keep total fruit under about 10% of your dog’s daily calories, remove all pits, cores, large seeds, and tough rinds, and skip anything canned in syrup or coated in sugar, chocolate, or spices—especially if your dog has diabetes, pancreatitis, or weight concerns.
