|
|
Should dogs eat fruit? I'm working on the principle that it's probably not harmful in big quantities. I had a mango in the fruit bowl and Otto was sitting staring at it so I cut it up and gave him a wee bit.
He also likes apple and strawberries, though I don't give him very much as he's still young. He practically jumped on the table for a passion fruit, but it was the smell more than the taste. |

He managed to nick a banana and I didn't notice until I saw him trying to get the skin off. He didn't really like it that much. Was funny though. |

I think its ok, doogle likes fruit (but mind you he likes just about everything!). The only fruit you're not supposed to give them is grapes. |

the boys love apples but only if you let them eat it from the core bit thingy!
They wont eat it if you chop it and put it in there dishes!
I eat the apple they get whats left, and they sit and watch (top dog) _________________ Kindest Regards,

sure he's not .............. spoiled?.......... Star? ............ nah!!!!!!!
neither of ours eat fruit. They just look at it, throw it around then leave it. Murphy used to love chomping on raw carrots but they don't eat that anymore either A bit like John, they don't like eating their veg unless it's well chopped and disguised |

I think I saw someone post about some dog nutrionists having a mini stroke if you don't feed them fruit at least once a week?? |

Fruit is good, I dont feed it myself. I dont feed any veg or fruit just the meat but I know others that swear by greens and fruit.
I have a bitch here who gets yeast infections so fruit can aggravate that, other than that there's no reason why they cant. Just remember NO GRAPES. |
