Can Dogs Eat Strawberries?

Sweet, Safe, and Packed with Benefits — Here’s the Truth from Myco Pet

We know you love sharing your snacks with your furry best friend — and who can resist those puppy eyes when you’re enjoying a bowl of fresh strawberries? 🐶💕

But before you toss one over, let’s answer the big question:

The Short Answer: Yes, Dogs Can Eat Strawberries — in Moderation

Fresh, washed, bite-sized strawberries are perfectly safe for dogs to enjoy — and they even come with a few surprising health benefits!

At Myco Pet, we always promote balance and root-cause wellness. That means every snack — even the healthiest one — should serve your pet’s body, not overload it.

So while strawberries make a wonderful natural treat, they should only make up less than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake.

Why Strawberries Are Good for Dogs

Strawberries are more than just a sweet summer snack. They’re bursting with nutrients that naturally support your dog’s wellbeing:

• Antioxidants — Help combat free radicals and oxidative stress, supporting immune health and longevity.
• Vitamin C — Boosts immune function and collagen production for skin and joint health.
• Fiber — Supports digestion and keeps your pup’s gut microbiome balanced.
• Water — Keeps your dog hydrated and helps flush out toxins.
• Malic Acid — A natural compound that may help keep your dog’s teeth whiter and cleaner.

These benefits align beautifully with Myco Pet’s mission: to support root-cause wellness through natural, nutrient-rich ingredients.

How to Serve Strawberries Safely

While strawberries are safe, how you serve them matters just as much. Follow these Myco Pet safety tips:

1. Wash thoroughly to remove pesticides or residue
   
2. Remove stems and leaves — they can be tough to digest
   
3. Cut into bite-sized pieces to reduce choking risk
   
4. Serve fresh or mashed — or freeze small chunks for a refreshing summer treat
   
5. Avoid canned or syruped strawberries — they’re high in sugar and may contain xylitol, which is toxic for dogs
   
6. Moderation is key — one or two strawberries make a great treat; too many can cause stomach upset

When to Skip Strawberries

If your dog has any of the following, talk to your vet before introducing strawberries:

• Diabetes or blood sugar sensitivity
• Digestive issues or pancreatitis
• Known allergies to fruits
• Weight management concerns

Even natural sugars can affect certain health conditions — always check before sharing.

Other Dog-Safe Fruits to Try

Strawberries aren’t the only healthy, natural treat option! Here are more fruits dogs can safely enjoy (in moderation):

Berries

• Blueberries — antioxidant-rich & gut-friendly
• Blackberries — fiber-packed
• Raspberries — anti-inflammatory
• Cranberries — support urinary health

Fruits

• Watermelon — hydrating (remove seeds & rind)
• Apples — without seeds
• Mango — vitamin A boost
• Kiwi — immune support
• Banana — natural energy & potassium
• Pineapple, Pear, Cantaloupe — occasional treat options

Each of these fruits supports different aspects of your dog’s health — from digestion to immunity — and all fit beautifully within Myco Pet’s root-cause wellness philosophy.

Toxic Foods to Keep Away From Dogs

Always double-check before sharing human food. The following are toxic or unsafe for dogs:

🚫 Grapes & raisins
🚫 Cherries
🚫 Avocados
🚫 Onions & garlic
🚫 Chocolate
🚫 Caffeine
🚫 Macadamia nuts
🚫 Artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol)

If your dog ever consumes one of these foods, contact your vet immediately.
