Can Teddy Dogs Eat Watermelon? Just Control the Portion
In the diet of pet dogs, we need to learn a lot of knowledge about what dogs can eat, what they can't eat, and what is best for them. These questions require in-depth research. Because dogs only have dog food as their main diet, unlike humans who have many types of food such as meals, fruits, and snacks, dogs’ food is too single. Sometimes we can't help but share our own food with dogs, but the result may not be good because dogs may not tolerate our food. Today we will talk about whether Teddy dogs can eat watermelon?
In the hot summer, watermelon is a fruit that cools us down and quenches our thirst. Teddy dogs have relatively thick fur and also feel hot in summer, and the only way for dogs to cool down is by drinking water. So can Teddy dogs eat watermelon to cool down? Actually, they can. Watermelon has a cooling effect for Teddy dogs as well, but no matter how delicious watermelon is, it should not be eaten in excess. Humans may get diarrhea from eating too much watermelon, and the same applies to dogs. But dog diarrhea is completely different from human diarrhea, so owners should pay attention to the portion when feeding Teddy dogs watermelon.
Watermelon contains a lot of water, and eating too much might cause excessive urination. If dogs eat too much, they will need to relieve themselves frequently. If a dog has not been trained to go to a fixed spot to urinate, avoid giving too much watermelon, or it will be difficult for the owner to clean up. When feeding watermelon to dogs, the seeds must be removed because swallowing watermelon seeds can affect their digestive system. We like to eat chilled watermelon in summer, but if feeding to dogs, be sure to wait until the watermelon is at room temperature before giving it to them.
Although Teddy dogs are pets, the food they eat shouldn’t be poor quality. If a Teddy dog eats spoiled watermelon, it may cause food poisoning, and the owner should take the dog to the hospital promptly if this happens. As long as the owner feeds watermelon scientifically and reasonably, there is no harm to the dog’s body, but the owner should always monitor whether the dog's condition is normal.
