Which fruits are bad for dogs?

Avocado

The avocado pit, skin, and leaves contain persin and are toxic to dogs. The fleshy part of an avocado does not contain as much persin and can be given to your dog in small amounts, although some dogs don’t tolerate any amount of avocado.

Citrus Fruits

While not toxic to dogs, citrus fruits like lemons, limes and grapefruits can cause them an upset stomach.

Grapes/Raisins

Grapes, and their dried cousins, raisins, are extremely toxic to dogs and can lead to acute kidney failure. They should not be given to dogs.

Cherries

Avoid giving your dog cherries as the pit and stems can cause intestinal blockage. The pit is also extremely toxic to dogs.

Which fruits are healthiest for dogs?

Some fruits are healthier for your dog than others either due to the nutritional benefits or their low sugar and calorie content.

The healthiest fruits to feed your dog：

Blueberries

Fresh blueberries provide a plethora of antioxidants and fiber for your dog.

Watermelon

With its high-water content, watermelons are a great summer treat for your dog, especially since they are also high in vitamin A, C and B-6.

How much fruit is right for dogs?

1. Even when feeding your dog fruits that are safe and nutritious, you should always practice moderation.

2. It is recommended to stick to the 90-10 rule. Ninety percent of their diet should be their regular food and 10 percent can be healthy treats that include fruits and vegetables.

3. If your dog has underlying medical conditions or is fed a prescription diet, it’s always safest to contact your veterinarian first before adding fruits to their diet.

4. Dr Zach Mills says that even seemingly risk-free fruits can lead to digestive upset, diarrhea and vomiting.

Mills says pet owners should look for the following symptoms:

1. GI upset

2. Loss of appetite

3. Lethargy /ˈleθədʒi/

4. Vomiting

5. Loose stools or diarrhea /ˌdaɪəˈrɪə/

养狗人都知道，均衡和营养丰富的膳食对爱犬的健康至关重要。

除了提供日常饮食外，主人还可以给狗狗喂食适量水果作为零食。水果中富含维生素和矿物质，可以提高狗的免疫力，促进代谢。

哪些水果对狗狗有害？

牛油果

牛油果的果核、果皮和叶子所含的甘油酸对狗有毒。

牛油果肉中甘油酸含量不高，可以少量喂食，但有些狗完全吃不了。

柑橘类水果

虽然柠檬、酸橙和葡萄柚等柑橘类水果对狗没有毒性，但会引起狗的胃部不适。

葡萄/葡萄干

葡萄和葡萄干对狗有剧毒，可导致急性肾衰竭。千万别给狗食用。

樱桃

避免给狗狗吃樱桃，因为樱桃核和樱桃梗会导致肠梗阻。果核对狗也有剧毒。

哪些水果对狗狗最健康？

对狗狗来说，一些水果比其他水果更健康，这是因为它们的营养价值高，或糖分热量较低。

以下水果最适合喂狗：

蓝莓

新鲜蓝莓有大量抗氧化剂和纤维，适合狗狗吃。

西瓜

西瓜含水量高，是狗狗夏季的最佳零食，西瓜还富含维生素A、C和B-6。

狗狗吃多少水果合适？

即使在给狗狗喂食安全且营养丰富的水果时，也应该适可而止。

建议坚持9:1原则，在狗狗的饮食中，90%应该是它们的常规食物，10%可以是包括水果和蔬菜在内的健康零食。

如果您的爱犬有潜在的疾病或正在服用处方药，那么在它们的饮食中添加水果之前，最好先联系兽医。

扎克·米尔斯博士表示，即使是看似无害的水果，也可能导致消化不良、腹泻和呕吐。

米尔斯说，宠物主人应该注意以下症状：

1.消化道不适

2.食欲不振

3.嗜睡

4.呕吐

5.稀便或腹泻
