How Much Fruit/Vegetables Should My Dog Eat Each Day? To start, dogs don't actually require any fruit or veggies as a part of their diet. If given the right kind of vegetables and fruit, it won't hurt them as a snack, but it shouldn't be more than 10% of the daily calories for your dog.


Can I feed my dog fruits and vegetables everyday?
