How many dates can a dog eat?

So, just to recap, you can feed your dog, ½ to 2 pitted (stone-free) dates in one sitting, once or twice a week, depending on his size. If it's his first time, feed him just the one and see how his body reacts, and if he seems to like them then use them as tasty treats in replacement for commercial dog treats.

What happens if a dog eats dates?

Consuming too many dates at once means eating high amounts of sugar and fiber, which can give your dog an upset tummy or diarrhea. Often times, you can purchase dates with the pits already removed. However, if your dates still contain pits, it's a good idea to remove them before sharing with your dog.
