What is a mirabelle plum?

A mirabelle is a small, yellow or red plum that originally comes from Asia. It has a sweet and juicy taste and is rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Mirabelle plums are usually eaten fresh or made into jam, compote or schnapps.

Are mirabelle plums good for dogs?

Mirabelle plums can be a healthy addition to a dog's diet if they are fed in moderation. They can aid digestion, strengthen the immune system and regulate blood sugar levels. They can also offer your dog a change from his usual food and make him happy.

Are there any disadvantages?

As with all types of fruit, you should make sure that you don't give your dog any seeds or stones from mirabelle plums. These can be poisonous and lead to choking or intestinal obstruction. You should also limit the amount of mirabelle plums you give your dog, as they contain a lot of sugar and can lead to obesity or tooth decay. A rule of thumb is that you should not feed your dog more than 10% of its daily calorie requirement in fruit.

 

Mirabelle plums are a tasty and healthy fruit that you can give your dog as a snack from time to time. However, make sure that you only give him the flesh without seeds or stones and keep the amount moderate. This way you can do something good for your dog and give him a sweet surprise.
