Five fruits veterinarians say dogs can eat

A Spanish veterinarian has identified five fruits that can be safely incorporated into a dog's diet, offering a guide for pet owners concerned about canine nutrition. Shared via TikTok by the user @mariavetican, the advice focuses on apples, watermelon, berries, bananas, and mangoes.

For apples, the veterinarian stressed the importance of removing seeds before offering them, noting the fruit's skin can be included. She highlighted apples' natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid digestion and dental health.

Berries, including strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, were praised for their antioxidant content and beneficial nutrients. "They are loaded with antioxidants and beneficial properties," she explained.

Bananas can be given in moderation, providing energy and potassium, and potentially helping with digestive issues. The veterinarian advised against overly ripe bananas due to their sugar content.
