Can dogs eat blackberries?
The answer is: Yes! Blackberries are, just like other berries, a healthy and tasty snack for your dog. They contain a lot of vitamin C and folic acid and thus contribute to a →healthy diet for your four-legged friend.
Before you joyfully mix the berries into the food, let your dog try them first. Even if you find blackberries delicious, your dog may reject the berries.
What to watch out for when feeding blackberries
As with everything, the same applies to blackberries: In moderation, not in masses! Additionally, you should ensure that you only give your four-legged friend very ripe blackberries. If the fruit is still quite sour, excessive consumption can lead to digestive problems and diarrhea.
Don't forget that sweet fruit also contains a lot of sugar and your dog thus intakes more calories than usual. If you want to give fruit as a regular snack, you should keep an eye on your dog's weight or possibly even factor it into their food.
Which fruits should my dog not eat?
There are also fruits that dogs should better not eat. These include many stone fruits like plums or mirabelles. Grapes are even toxic to dogs and should not be fed at all. If you are unsure what your dog can eat and what not, take a look at our →list of toxic foods for dogs or consult your veterinarian.
If you want to be on the safe side, it's better to opt for special dog snacks or →bake something delicious for your dog yourself. Here too, you should pay attention to the composition. Additives like sugar, grains, or flavor and colorings have no place in a delicious and healthy snack for dogs. That's why our snacks from Pets Deli are packed with good ingredients, juicy meat, and important vitamins.
