Raspberries are sweet, small, and delicious. They are the ideal snack for between meals or as a topping in our muesli. And what about your furry friend? Yes, your dog can eat raspberries. Just like us, the red fruits provide our four-legged companions with vitamins C, A, and E. They contain valuable folic acid and a lot of minerals like potassium, →calcium, iron, and magnesium.

How should I best feed raspberries?
If you have raspberries growing in your garden, you can offer them to your dog freshly picked from the bush. For berries from the supermarket, it's better to rinse them first before feeding them to your dog. The amount depends entirely on the size of your four-legged friend: Small dogs with smaller tummies can tolerate less fruit. However, there’s nothing wrong with giving a small handful of the delicious berries to a medium-sized dog.
If your dog is not used to getting fresh fruits or vegetables, start with 1-2 raspberries and observe how he tolerates them. The same applies to other berries like →blueberries, →strawberries, or →blackberries. They are all a vitamin-rich and tasty addition to your furry friend's bowl but should only be fed in small amounts. Otherwise, it can lead to →diarrhea or [→stomach pain](/magazin/hunde/hunde-gesundheit/bauchschmerzen-beim-hund-ursachen-symptome-behandlung).
