Fruits and vegetables can be a great option for your dog or cat, especially for a low-calorie treat between meals.
But did you know that many fruits and vegetables can be toxic to your pet?
What are the best options?
- Apple pieces, but avoid the seeds and stem.
- Bananas are also good for your pet, but higher in calories.
- Watermelon, again avoiding the seeds and rind.
- Chopped carrots, probably the best option on this list!
- Peppers
- Cucumbers
- Celery
- Pumpkin
- Broccoli
- Indian wheat (do not give the ear)
Above all, avoid :
- All forms of grapes
- Avocado
- Asparagus
- Mushrooms
- Rhubarb
- Macadamia nuts
- Onion
- Peach and plum pits
- Garlic
- Cherry
If in doubt, avoid all other foods. Consult your veterinarian for more details.
