Is it okay to give my dog a small piece of banana every day?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, bananas are a good treat and are safe to give. This is a potassium rich fruit that is a good alternative to the traditional dog treats that you get from the store. Bananas are high in fiber, which can help with gastrointestinal problems and magnesium which helps promote bone growth and helps the body produce protein and absorb vitamins.

Banana is fine to give Buddy as an occasional treat, but I would not give it to him daily. It's most important that his diet consists of a puppy formulated food so he grows properly. I will put a link below that lists fruits that are safe to give him as an occasional treat (one or twice a week in small amounts). I hope this helps! http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

Hi there! Nova should be fine! Bananas are a human food that is fine for her to eat if you want to offer it to her as treat sometime. A little bit of mango is ok, but it's not a food I would recommend offer to her. She may have a little bit of an upset tummy, due to ingesting a new food so don't be surprised if she has a bit of soft stool or diarrhea in the next couple of days. I hope this helps a bit!

Yes, it's okay for a 2 month old puppy to have small bites of apple and banana as an occasional treat. I would not recommend giving large amounts, as this may upset his stomach and cause some diarrhea.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Both those fruits are fine. Just do not feed apple seeds. My advice is everything in moderation. Not every dog is the same and any food could cause tummy upset. I hope this helps and have a great day!

Hello, This question's answer depends on what prescription diet he is on and for what reason he was prescribed the diet. Most prescription diets need to be fed completely alone for them to work effectively, but some can be supplemented with treats. Your vet can also answer the question since they know why they prescribed the diet. If you resubmit with the information I asked, I'll be happy to let you know if its an absolute no-no or something to double check with your vet first. :) Hope this is helpful!

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Baburoa. Bananas are not toxic so he just may experience some gastrointestinal upset such as diarrhea or constipation, and in rare cases vomiting. Many dogs will not experience any of these symptoms and will show no change, it just depends on how sensitive your dog's stomach is.
