Can my dog eat watermelon safely? How much is too much for them?

Yes, make sure you remove the seeds first. Many dogs like small pieces frozen so they get cooled off while enjoying it like we do in the hot summer. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions about Brody.

Watermelon rind is not toxic, but it is not especially digestible and could cause gastrointestinal upset. I don't think you need to do anything specific other than monitor for vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite.

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!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would avoid tomatoe sauce that contains onions and garlic. There is no published “toxic” dose for tomatoes. Every dog is different on how they handle certain fruits and vegetables. I would start small and gradually increase the amount watching for tummy upset manifesting as vomit or diarrhea. I would feed as a treat only. Only feed ripe red tomoatoes. The plant and green tomatoes do contain solanine which is harmful. Everything should be in moderation. Onions and garlic are toxic to animals and I do not recommend any sauce contains those ingredients. Have a great day!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is not "dose" for how many blueberries you can or can not feed. Everything should be in moderation. I suggest thawing them and using unsweetened blueberries. I would start off with small amounts and see how Kugelblitz tolerates them. Increase slowly. Too much fruit can cause diarrhea. I hope this helps and I wish you all the very best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dogs typically do not have a complete intolerance to dairy, but as it is not a mainstay of their dietary needs, it can cause GI upset. I typically do not recommend giving dogs straight milk, and lower sugar ice creams can have artificial sugars (such as xylitol) which are toxic to dogs. Regular ice cream or cheese can be fine in small amounts but it based on each individual animal. If you want to give your dog anything dairy as a small treat, only start with one thing in very small amounts to see how Brody tolerates it and ensure he doesn't develop any vomiting/diarrhea.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Potatoes are safe for dogs to eat, as long as they are cooked and given in small pieces so that dogs do not choke on them. Potatoes are high in carbs, but provide vitamins including vitamins A and C, as well as iron. Pieces of cooked potato can be given as a small snack, but should not constitute a large portion of your pet's diet. I hope this is helpful!
