Raspberries

A representation of Raspberries

Raspberries are small red fruits that ripen in summer. They taste sweet and juicy and are very healthy for humans. But what about dogs? Can dogs eat raspberries? And if so, how many and how often?

What are raspberries?

Raspberries are berry fruits that belong to the rose family. They grow on bushes that can grow up to two meters high. The fruits consist of many small individual fruits, which together have a spherical shape. Raspberries have a bright red color and an aromatic taste.

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?

Yes, dogs can eat raspberries. The fruit is not poisonous to dogs and can even be good for them. Raspberries have an anti-inflammatory, appetizing and diuretic effect. They help the intestines to regenerate and the liver to detoxify. They can also strengthen the immune system.

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. However, the amount should be limited, about up to ten raspberries per day, depending on the size of the dog. Make sure to wash the fruit thoroughly and give your dog a small amount at first to test his preferences. Dried raspberry leaves are also a healthy option for dogs.
