Can Dogs Eat Strawberries?

Strawberries are safe and healthy for dogs. They contain vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, plus a teeth-whitening enzyme. Serve fresh, washed, and with stems removed.

📋Nutrition Notes

Rich in vitamin C, manganese, folate, fiber, and antioxidants. Contains malic acid, which can help whiten teeth naturally. About 4 calories per berry.

🥄Serving Guidance

Small dogs: 1–2 berries. Medium dogs: 3–4 berries. Large dogs: 5–6 berries. Remove stems and cut large berries in half. Fresh or frozen (thawed) only — no sugared or syrup-packed strawberries.

⚠️Risks to Know

High in sugar compared to some other fruits. Canned strawberries in syrup contain too much sugar. Remove stems to prevent choking.
