✅ So, Can Dogs Eat Strawberries?
Yes, they can! In fact, strawberries are:
-
Low in calories
-
Packed with fiber
-
Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants
They can help improve your dog’s immune system and even naturally whiten their teeth thanks to the malic acid content.
But — moderation is key.
Too many strawberries can lead to upset stomach or diarrhea, especially in smaller dogs.
🐾 How to Safely Feed Strawberries to Dogs
-
Wash thoroughly to remove pesticides
-
Remove stems & leaves
-
Cut into small bite-sized pieces
-
Don’t add sugar or syrup — plain is best
-
Start with 1–2 pieces to test for allergies
🍓 Frozen strawberries can also make a refreshing treat in summer — just avoid canned or processed versions.
