Can dogs eat blueberries?
A low-calorie fruit that works well as a small everyday reward.
Why
Blueberries are small, low in sugar compared with many fruits, and easy for most dogs to digest. Their size makes them convenient as a training reward for dogs who like fruit.
Portion guidance
A few berries for a small dog and up to a small handful for a large dog, as part of the 10% of daily calories that treats should stay within.
Preparation
Serve raw and whole, or frozen for a longer-lasting summer treat. Rinse first. No need to chop unless your dog gulps food.
Important warnings
New foods can cause loose stools. Introduce one at a time and stop if your dog reacts. Frozen berries are hard — skip them for dogs with dental problems.
