Cavities in dogs are rare but may form if they eat too much sugar. Blueberries may be healthy, but they also contain sugar, so feed in moderation.


How many blueberries is too many for a dog?

Don't feed your dog more than a few blueberries—per day—for every 10 pounds of their body weight. And if you're giving them to small dogs, make sure to stay in the room to supervise them. Or you can just mash them up to eliminate any choking hazards.

How many blueberries can a dog eat per day?

Generally, 8-10 blueberries per day depending on your pet's size and tolerance for this fruit. Blueberries should be served as a treat and can even be offered up every day if factored into your dog's vet-recommended daily calorie count.

Can blueberries give dogs diarrhea?

Like most juicy fruits that are high in fiber, too many blueberries can cause your dog to have diarrhea. As well, you don't want to add too much sugar to their diet.
