Weird question, I know, but my daughter wanted to give Kodee the last part of her blueberry pancake (maybe 1/4 of a pancake?), but I wouldn't let her. It was chock-full of blueberries (yes, the real ones! ) Kodee doesn't get much "table" food, other than meat, eggs, yogurt, etc. But I thought I'd heard that blueberries were good for dogs? Is that true? Not that I'm going to start feeding them to him on a regular basis (or pancakes, either for that matter), but I wanted to find out if he has some, will that hurt him?
(Maybe I'm thinking cranberries are good for dogs - can't remember)?

Blueberries are good for dogs and a healthy treat. I've added them to veggie glop. Freeze them now for winter or buy "no sugar added" frozen berries at the store.

Blueberries have loads of good nutrients and very little sugar, so they're one of the better fruits you can add to your dog's diet. We have a good friend who lets us pick their berries every year and we usually freeze about 5 or 6 gallons of them for the winter. Oscar is lucky enough to get them in his breakfast every once in a while. He also came picking with us one summer and made himself positively SICK hoovering up all the berries that had dropped into the grass - from like 4 acres of bushes! I swear his face almost turned blue, but he's no worse for the wear (and we don't take him picking with us anymore. )
Dogs seem to love berries. I have a mulberry tree in my yard and all 4 of my dogs, even the one that won't eat anything that's not in his dish, love them. They will stand there and eat the ones that have dropped on the grass. Luckily I don't have 4 acres of them because I might have Natalya's problem, ha!
My previous dog loved to pick and eat gooseberries off a bush behind my father's office.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants and other wonderful stuff. Pancakes... not so good (wheat flour, sugar, cooking oil, etc)
I don't know if a dog would eat sour cranberries. But DON'T FEED GRAPES or raisins - they are toxic.

P.S. Cranberries would be great, but dogs probably hate unsweetened ones (and I don't blame them at all), and sweetened ones are VERY high in sugar. Sugar is even worse for dogs than for humans.
