Can Dogs Eat Blueberries?
Short answer: Yes, blueberries are a safe, low-calorie treat for most dogs.
Why it’s okay
Blueberries aren’t toxic to dogs and the AKC lists them as a safe treat. Because they’re small and easy to over-serve, portion control is the main thing to watch.
How much and how to serve it
A few berries for a small dog or a small handful for a large one. Fresh or plain frozen is best; avoid sweetened, canned or pie-filling versions.
Risks to watch for
- Too many at once can cause an upset stomach or diarrhea.
- Blueberry muffins, pies and yogurts add sugar, fat and sometimes ingredients that are unsafe for dogs.
What to do if your dog ate blueberries
Most dogs only get a mild upset stomach from eating too much of a safe food. If your dog has vomiting, diarrhea or seems unwell, or if it ate a large amount, call your vet.
