Delicious Fruits That Are The Best for Dogs

When most people think of raw dog food, they envision a high-protein diet. While the majority of our Just Raw meals are protein-based, you'll note that we also include fruits and vegetables in our portions.

Apples

A piece of apple a day keeps the doctor away! Apples are high in vitamin A, C, and fiber, which is why we include them in all of our Just Fresh meals. If you wish to add more apples to your dog's diet, be sure to clean all apple seeds since they contain cyanide and aren't healthy for dogs. Apple cores may also be a choking danger, so stick to apple slices instead!

Tips for feeding fruit to dogs

When introducing fruit to your pet's diet, start with one sort of fruit and gradually add another. This allows you to determine which fruits your pet like and how the fruit affects your dog's body.

If the fruit has a skin or seeds, it is ideal if the skin and seeds are removed. These may get lodged in your dog's intestines, necessitating emergency surgery.

Limit the number of fruits you feed to a minimum. Most fruits also contain natural sugar as well. Excess sugar consumption is unhealthy for your dog and may lead to obesity and, in the worst-case scenario, diabetes.
