What ingredients do raspberries contain?
Raspberries contain many vitamins and minerals. These include vitamins A, C and E as well as calcium, magnesium, manganese and iron. Raspberries also contain antioxidants and valuable flavonoids, which can promote good health. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals that can lead to ageing and disease. Flavonoids have an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthen the immune system.
Can dogs eat raspberries?

How many raspberries can a dog eat?
As with everything, it's the quantity that makes the poison. Too many raspberries can lead to diarrhea as they contain a lot of fructose. Raspberries also have a high acid content, which can attack tooth enamel. You should therefore only give your dog a few raspberries a day.
The exact amount depends on the size of your dog. As a rule of thumb: depending on the size of the dog, up to ten raspberries a day are recommended.
How should you feed the raspberries?
Before you give your dog raspberries, you should rinse them thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. It is best to buy organic raspberries or feed your dog raspberries from your own garden. It's best to let your dog taste a small piece to see if he likes it. Some dogs don't like sour fruit. In that case, give him something else. You can also give him dried raspberry leaves as a home remedy, which also have a health-promoting effect.
Raspberries are berry fruits that contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Dogs are allowed to eat raspberries as they are not poisonous and can have positive effects on their health.
