Can dogs eat blackberries?

Why

These berries are packed with antioxidants and fiber, making them a nutritious snack option. However, they contain natural sugars and fiber that can cause stomach upset or diarrhea if your dog eats too many at once.

If you do feed it

• Limit treats to a few berries for small dogs and a small handful for large dogs.
• Always wash the berries thoroughly to remove pesticides or dirt.
• Introduce them slowly to ensure your dog tolerates them well.
• Serve fresh or frozen without any added sugars, syrups, or sweeteners.

Watch out for

• sweetened blackberry jams or pies
• blackberry leaves or stems
• moldy or spoiled berries
• large quantities causing digestive upset
