Fruits Dogs Can And Can’T Eat

1-Apples

Delicious, fresh, juicy and sweet, apple is the apple of the family and we know everyone would love to eat it even more especially when it's wrapped in a delicious recipe that they can also prepare at home. A good apple pie is all about the crispiness of the apple crust while the sugary apple filling is all about the moistness of the apple filling and of course the juiciness of the apple. You can also opt for the apple ciders, apple juices or even apple puree but if you're going to purchase the apple slices then try to go for apple crisp or apple pear sauce for your next party and get everybody talking. Here are some other recipes you might find interesting and very practical to serve apple for the next party.

Apples are safe for dogs to consume. Apples are high in vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, and are good for your dog. Because they are low in protein and fat, they are an ideal snack for older dogs. Just make sure the seeds and core are removed first. Try freezing them for a refreshing summer snack.

2-Avocado

The above image shows leaves from one of the California Hass avocado trees at the end of September. Why do they appear so green? And what can we do about it? Well there's one primary culprit to the common leaf burn which often develops in early autumn, and this is pathogenic chlorine in unventilated irrigation water from the plant's roots. You can reduce this by taking several simple steps at the planting stage, but the key is to protect them until the first signs of leaves appear in spring.

Avocados should not be eaten by dogs. Although avocado is a nutritious snack for dog owners, it should never be fed to dogs. Avocados contain persin, a toxin found in the pit, skin, and leaves that causes vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Although the fruit's fleshy inside contains less persin than the remainder of the plant, it is still too much for dogs to manage.

3-Bananas

Bananas are an easy and fun tropical fruit to grow. They are known for their tasty taste and attractive shape, so much so that some varieties have earned the nickname "the love bug". It is no wonder then that many people are looking for ways to extend the life of their newly acquired bananas and to make them more productive as well.

Bananas are safe for dogs to consume. Bananas are a fantastic low-calorie treat for dogs when used in moderation. Potassium, vitamins, biotin, fiber, and copper are all abundant in them. Bananas are low in cholesterol and salt, but due to their high sugar content, they should only be given as a treat to your dog.

4-Blueberries

Blueberry is a fruit that is as innocent as the sound of its name. It comes from the same family of berries as cranberries and bilberries, but unlike them it does not have any blueberries in its composition. As a fruit, blueberry contains many anthocyanins, which are darkish-purple pigments that give this fruit its dark color. Blueberry is also rich in beta-carotene and Vitamin A. And just like other fruits, it also has some fructose and glucose contents as well. The good thing about Blueberry fruit is that it is very perishable, thus, making it one of the best foods to be frozen if you want to preserve it for a longer period of time.

Blueberries are safe for dogs to consume. Blueberries are an antioxidant-rich superfood that protects cells in both humans and dogs. They‚Äôre also high in fiber and phytochemicals. Do you want to teach your dog to catch treats in the air? As an alternative to store-bought goodies, try blueberries.

5-Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe is an exotic and sweet tropical fruit, grown in Mexico and Central America. It has been a staple food for people in these areas for centuries. For most of us growing or harvesting cantaloupe is out of the question, but if you have access to a large mango tree this is something you can consider. Growing cantaloupe is not that difficult, but finding the sweetest and most vibrant varieties is what makes the fruit so popular. Today there are many different types of melon on the market, and the choices are more than just the color and size of the fruit.

Yes, dogs can eat cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is a nutrient-dense fruit that is low in calories and high in water and fiber. However, because it is high in sugar, it should be shared in moderation, especially with overweight or diabetic dogs.

6-Cherries

For years I have been a big fan of cherries. Not just the everyday kind, but the real, rich red kind with a taste that is indescribable. It's hard to describe exactly, but once you taste it, you'll know.

Cherries should not be eaten by dogs. Cherry trees contain cyanide and are harmful to dogs, with the exception of the fleshy area around the seed. Because cyanide affects cellular oxygen transport, your dog's blood cells are deprived of oxygen. If your dog consumes cherries, look for symptoms like dilated pupils, trouble breathing, and red gums, which could indicate cyanide poisoning.

7-Cranberries

Cranberries are packed with health benefits including a host of anti-oxidants that help to fight numerous diseases and improve overall health. However, cranberries can also provide some delicious culinary flavors that are both refreshing and delicious. If you enjoy cranberries but don't particularly care for the taste, cranberries can be juiced raw in a fruit salad with fresh chopped cranberries and yogurt for a quick and nutritious snack. If you prefer a cranberry juice for its option, try cranberries dipped in cranberry juice or cranberries puree with yogurt for a tasty and nutritious dinner. However, cranberries are also high in phytochemicals, antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and beta-carotene and, thus, can help lower blood sugar. Additionally, cranberries have a low glycemic index (G.I) of just 45, making them less difficult to digest than other fruits.

Yes, dogs are allowed to consume cranberries. In limited amounts, both fresh and dried cranberries are acceptable to serve to dogs. Another consideration is whether your dog will enjoy this tangy treat. In either case, like with any treat, giving cranberries to dogs in moderation is vital, as too much cranberries can cause gastrointestinal distress.

8-Cucumbers

cucumbers are one of the oldest fruits in the world, and in the United States, they're among the most popular fruits as well. They're a bit delicate in appearance; they can rip easily and can even snap and drop their insides. But the inside is where they shine. Cucumbers have lots of water content, about 10 cups a inch or so, making them very water retaining. That means you can eat cucumbers without feeling too full, which is great for slimming out.

Cucumbers are safe for dogs to consume. Cucumbers are particularly beneficial to overweight dogs because they contain little to no carbohydrates, fats, or oils, and they can even help to increase energy levels. They‚Äôre high in potassium, copper, magnesium, and biotin, as well as vitamins K, C, and B1.

9-Grapes

Grapes, as people know, are red juicy fruits with an aromatic taste; in general they are red in color, but grapes are actually a species of fruit, belonging to the genus Vitis. There are many kinds of grapes, with specific characteristics depending on where the grapes belong to. If we look at berries alone, we would probably term all of those with red colors berries, but within that category there are various subspecies and species. Some of those species are table grapes, sweet grapes, black grapes, Muscat grapes, and the more common table grape varieties.

Grapes should never be eaten by dogs. Grapes and raisins (dried grapes) have been found to be extremely hazardous to dogs of all breeds, sexes, and ages. Grapes, in fact, are so poisonous that they can cause acute renal failure. Always keep an eye out for this poisonous fruit for dogs.

10-Mango

Mangoes are safe for dogs to consume. This refreshing summer delight is high in four vitamins: A, B6, C, and E. They also include potassium as well as beta- and alpha-carotene. Remember to remove the hard pit first, as it contains small levels of cyanide and can be a choking hazard, as with other fruits. Because mangoes are heavy in sugar, they should only be consumed on rare occasions.

11-Oranges

Oranges are very popular around the globe. They are of many different varieties and come in a wide variety of colors. Most people know orange as a sweet orange, but they actually come in a variety of colors depending on where the fruit grows. Some of your grocery store oranges are technically candy oranges, because they are usually treated with pesticides during shipping. However, there are several varieties that are more commonly used as fruits for juice, such as the sweet blood orange and the juice from the giant pixie orange.

Dogs can eat oranges, yes. According to vets, dogs can eat oranges, but they may not like any citrus with a strong smell. Oranges are high in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, and the juicy flesh of an orange can be a delightful treat for your dog in modest amounts. Vets advise throwing the peel and only giving your dog the orange flesh, sans any seeds. Orange peel is harsh on their digestive systems, and the oils may cause your dog's delicate nose to turn up.

12-Peaches

The sweet, juicy peaches have always been adored by people across the globe, especially those living in warmer climates. They are not only good for you, but are also great tasting when eaten as snacks. Picking peaches is a lot like picking grapes. You should handle them with care to avoid damaging them or scratching the skin around the pit. They are more susceptible to damage when wet, so always store them in a dry place. Keep fresh peaches on your kitchen counter or in a glass container in the fridge until you use them.
