Fruits are the most nutritious snacks we usually have, both beautifying and delicious, and greedy pet dogs definitely want to have a bite. But owners should do some homework before feeding fruits to their dogs. Fruits that humans can eat do not necessarily mean dogs can eat them all. Doing enough research can avoid unnecessary dangers and also make dogs eat more safely. Some fruits are very nutritious foods for dogs, while some fruits are so-called poisons. For the health of dogs, let’s learn some knowledge about fruits!

Bananas, which have a bowel-clearing effect, have the same effect for dogs and can help them expel food that is hard to digest in their stomachs. The more common apples are rich in water and nutrients and can also help detoxify dogs, but eating too much apple will cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs because apples contain high sugar. Fruits like pears, watermelon, and wax apples are also fruits with high sugar content. So when feeding dogs, remember to feed in moderation. Eating appropriately can moisturize the dog’s fur and skin.

Oranges, containing vitamin elements, can help dogs increase energy and are relatively easy-to-digest fruits, but dogs should only eat them in moderation. Melons are generally quite sweet, and small amounts can help digestion in dogs. Extremely sweet fruits like strawberries and sugarcane are not recommended for dogs, and strawberries may also have pesticides sprayed during growth. Our loved and hated durian is generally not favored by most dogs, but for the few dogs who like to eat it, it will increase their weight and make them very strong.

Cherries, which we like to eat, are not allowed for dogs. Cherries can threaten a dog’s heart, causing difficulty in breathing. Grapes and similar fruits, including dried grapes, can cause organ failure or diarrhea in dogs. Mushrooms, being fungi, affect dogs’ gastrointestinal systems negatively when eaten. Before feeding dogs fruits with shells or pits, owners should remove the pits because dogs cannot remove the pits themselves, and swallowing them may cause blockages in the dog’s intestines.
