What fruits are ok for a dog to eat?
Full Question:
What fruits if any are good for your dog?I gave my 12 week old GSD puppy a piece of apple when I was baking a pie and then I thought I should have check your web-site before giving it to him. He is getting bored with carrots and I want to try something new.
I have purchased several of your items and I'm completely satisfied if all of them. My puppy loves the natural treats. They have become part of his training tool.
Thanks so much for all your help.

We don’t feed fruit on a regular basis. An occasional piece of fruit is fine and many dogs enjoy it. I know blueberries have antioxidant properties, and many people give a few of those once a week or so.
Apple seeds are toxic to dogs, as are grapes and raisins.
If your dog needs something to occupy him, I would suggest a meaty knuckle bone. Meat, bones and organs are the best food for dogs.
We have lots of posts on our Discussion Forum about different foods to feed dogs. There was a discussion earlier this week about feeding fruit.
Hope this helps.
