Can dogs eat kiwi?

Why

The flesh of the kiwi is non-toxic and provides vitamins, but the fuzzy skin can be hard to digest and the seeds may cause minor irritation. Because the fruit is high in natural sugars and fiber, eating too much can lead to an upset stomach or diarrhea.

If you do feed it

• Peel the kiwi completely to remove the tough, fuzzy skin.
• Cut the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking.
• Limit the serving to a few small slices as an occasional treat, not a meal replacement.
• Introduce a tiny amount first to check for any allergic reaction or digestive upset.

Watch out for

• unpeeled kiwi with skin
• kiwi seeds in large quantities
• sweetened or candied kiwi products
• kiwi stems or leaves
