Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Dogs can have fruits and vegetables and in particular some vegetables are good for teeth and digestion, like pumpkin or squash. Fruits that are good for dogs are apples, bananas, strawberries. Avoid any fruit that has pits as these can cause obstructions (peaches, nectarines, plums, etc). Avoid garlic, onions, grapes, raisins and chocolate- these are all very toxic to dogs. Carrots, cucumber, celery, broccoli, are all good as well. Best of luck with Toffee.

Hi and thanks for using PetCoach! It's ok to feed food items like this in small amounts. I will copy a link here to learn what food items to avoid. I have never heard of bananas or apples causing problems in pets but some other common food items can be toxic. Just stay away from the known problem foods and any other foods that you give her that cause gastrointestinal upset.

Apples, bananas, carrots, celery, green beans, melon and pumpkin are all good choices for a healthy snack. Definitely avoid grapes, raisins, avavocado, onions, potato peels and garlic, as these are all toxic.

I hope that helps and all is well with Arjun.

What fruits and vegetables are safe for my 9-week-old puppy?

Stick with peas, carrots, green beans, blue berries, apples and bananas. Some dogs also like zucchini and pumpkin. Fresh, frozen, canned (no salt added) or cooked (no spices/oil) are all fine. I hope this helps.

What fruits, vegetables, and eggs are safe for my 4-month-old puppy?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Jelly is so cute! She looks like an appropriate body condition so far, and since she is only 4 months old it is hard to know how big she will ultimately get. I recommend feeding her a normal puppy dry dog food, and feeding the recommended amount on the bag for her weight. It is safe to add in vegetables such as peas, carrots, broccoli, etc - but NO onions or garlic. Most fruits are safe too, such a berries, bananas, watermelon, etc. Hard boiled eggs are safe, but they are high in cholesterol so I wouldn't feed her more than 1/2 per day. Please keep in mind that a good quality puppy diet on its own will have ALL the nutrients and vitamins that she needs to grow appropriately, so it is not necessary to add in extra food. In fact, this could actually cause her to grow too quickly and become overweight, which can cause extra strain on the joints and predispose her to boney issues in the future. I hope this is helpful!

What fruits and vegetables are safe for my dog to eat and avoid?

Hello there! Luckily, most fruits vegetables are quite healthy for our pets. Here are some you want to avoid: Avocado Onion Garlic Chives Apple cores and seeds (apple slices are ok) The green parts of a tomato (red parts are ok) Cherries (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Apricots (seeds, leaves, and stems are toxic) Grapes and raisins Wild mushrooms (grocery store mushrooms are ok) Currants Green potatoes (cooked, ripe potatoes are ok) Rhubarb I find that many dogs like baby carrots, green beans, and peeled apple slices. I hope this helps!

My dog loves fruit. Which fruits are safe for dogs, like apple or kiwi?

You can give your dog apple slices, banana, blueberries, cantaloupe, cranberries, mango, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, watermelon. Kiwi fruit is ok, but remove the skin as it can be an irritant. Make sure you either peel or wash the fruits before giving them as a snack or a treat.

Can my 2-month-old puppy safely eat apple or banana as a treat?

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.
