Dogs, like humans, also need vitamin supplementation. Fruits are a very good source of supplements, so in daily life we can feed dogs some fruits. But did you know that fruits should not be eaten casually? Today, the editor from Boqi Network will talk about the precautions for feeding fruits to dogs. Let's take a look below.

Although fruits are good, they cannot be used as meals. Aside from the high sugar content possibly causing absorption and obesity burden, the water content in fruits alone can cause dogs to have diarrhea.

If pet owners cannot remove the seeds or pits, then such fruits should not be given to dogs, because dogs are very likely to bite and crush these small things, and many seeds and pits contain toxins (such as apple seeds).

3. It is best not to feed dried fruits

It is best not to feed dried fruit foods to dogs, especially peanuts and chestnuts, which are fragrant but easy to crumble when chewed. Eating too many at once can easily cause indigestion.

If a dog unfortunately chokes, it must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid fruit blocking the trachea, which can lead to tragedy if not treated promptly, but simple first aid can be done on the way. Pet owners should remember the following two methods:

1. If it is a small dog: The owner holds the dog with one hand, letting the dog lie on the forearm, and uses the other hand to pat the dog's shoulder blades. Alternatively, the method for medium and large dogs to remove foreign objects can be used.

2.If it is a medium or large dog: The owner pinches the dog's temporomandibular joint with thumb and forefinger to force the dog to open its mouth, while the other hand reaches into the dog's mouth to remove the foreign object.

These are the precautions for feeding fruits to dogs. Hopefully, this can help everyone.
