Can dogs eat blackberries? Yes, in moderation
Safe in moderation. Fresh blackberries are a healthy treat; their trace of natural xylitol is not a concern in small servings.
If your dog ate a lot
- No need to worry if your dog ate a few fresh blackberries.
- Watch for an upset stomach if they ate a lot.
Don't
- Don't give frozen berries with added sugar or xylitol.
How to give it safely
Wash well, even if picked from your yard, and offer a few fresh berries as an occasional treat.
