Dogs and strawberries?

Are dogs allowed to eat strawberries and fresh fruit, or is it bad for them?

Yes, strawberries are fine, but not all fruits/veggies are okay.
Here are some of the fruits/veggies my dog likes (and are safe for dogs to eat):
- carrots
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
- bananas
- lettuce
Toxic fruits/veggies:
- avocados
- cherries
- onions

its great for them ,but high acid fruits like strawberry's pineapple ect.only in small amount or youll be up all night going outside..
Strawberries are fine for dogs. I feed my dog fresh fruits a lot. She really likes banana's and carrots (as a veggie. :P)
Onions and Garlic, though are toxic to them.
Should be fine, but dogs (especially younger ones) should get almost all of their nourishment from protein (meat)
As a dog gets older, it is wise to slowly reduce the protein and introduce some carbs, rice is ok.
Some fruits like Oranges, Lemons, etc... Here is a list of toxic foods for dogs. Good luck!

Good luck once again!
Well my dog eats it and she is fine , and the vet told me that I can give her fruit .
Strawberries but no whip cream..
chocolates are toxic for a dog but fresh fruit ,ground nuts are ok but avoid giving him raisons
Strawberries are ok. Of course too much fruits can cause diarrhea or tummy aches.
Here's a list of things dogs can't eat:
Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog.
Onions: Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia.
Chocolate: Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Baker鈥檚 chocolate is the most dangerous. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous.
Coffee, Coffee grounds, tea and tea bags: Drinks/foods containing caffeine cause many of the same symptoms chocolate causes
Macadamia Nuts and Walnuts: Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis. Limit all other nuts as they are not good for dogs in general, their high phosphorous content is said to possibly lead to bladder stones. Exception to this rule seems to be PEANUT BUTTER. However- always use Salt/Sugar free ORGANIC Peanut butter (sugar encourages cancer growth) free . Use only ORGANIC peanut butter as regular peanut butter has lots of toxins and is full of pesticides!
Animal fat and fried foods: Excessive fat can cause pancreatitis.
Bones: Cooked bones can splinter and damage a dog鈥檚 internal organs. Raw Bone should always be supervised as a piece can always break off and cause problems. Try frozen oxtails or frozen knuckle bones then take the bone away before the dog can swallow a final small piece whole. It's a good natural way to clean teeth too.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias. Tomato plants and the most toxic, but tomatoes themselves are also unsafe.
Avocados: The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart.
Nutmeg: Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death
Apples, Cherries, Peaches PITS and similar fruit are great for your dog - HOWEVER, the seeds of these fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans. Unlike humans, dogs do not know to stop eating at the core/pit and easily ingest them. It can also become lodged in the intestines and kill the dog in 24 hours with no warning.
Raw eggs: Raw eggs can cause salmonella poisoning in dogs. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and are not as likely to suffer from food poisoning, but it is still possible. BEST to use ORGANIC EGGS if you do raw. Scrambled lightly is best!
Salt: Excessive salt intake can cause kidney problems.
Mushrooms: Can be deadly- never let your pets chew on mushrooms found in your yard. Only safe "food" mushrooms are shitaki, maitake and reishi.
Xylitol: even a small amount can cause liver failure and death.
Sugar and Corn Syrups. EVEN ORGANIC IS BAD! (this does not include Honey or Molasses though they should only be in small amounts and never for cancer dogs)
You should avoid it. Carrots are fine. Other fruits will mess up their stomach and give them runny stools. You are not supposed to give them grapes.some won't be bothered but they are not good for dogs.I wouldn't give them strawberries either.
yes it will be fine most fruit and veg are good for dogs just as it is for us x
no problem
The only fruit dogs are forbidden from eating is grapes ( and of course, raisins and sultanas ). Last year i grew some strawberries in an old drawer, it was choc a block with them, my dogs found them and ate the lot! My yorkie used to like an apple! He'd play with it as if it was a ball then eat it! My three dogs now love carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, cucumbers, strawberries, melon and ice poles! They deserve a treat now and then, as long as you don't overload them with fruit and veg , too much is no good for their gut.
My cavalier waits patienly every morning while I chop up veg and fruit fr my guinee pigs...He loves it when I drop a bit of cucumber, carrot, grape celery.etc. never give too much cos trying to scoop the runny poop into a poo bag is not even funny.especially when hes done it outside the local W.I hall as they're all comming out!
