Use caution
Can dogs eat watermelon?
The flesh is fine; the rind and seeds are the problem.
Why
Seedless watermelon flesh is mostly water and makes a refreshing hot-weather treat. The rind is tough and can cause a blockage, and seeds are best removed.
Portion guidance
A couple of small cubes for a small dog, a few for a large dog, occasionally.
Preparation
Remove all rind and seeds, then cube the flesh. Freeze the cubes for hot days.
Important warnings
Never let a dog chew the rind. Large amounts of any watery fruit can cause loose stools.
