Any Q

In short, yes, your dog can eat dates. However, they should be given sparingly. Too many dates can cause an upset tummy, leading to stomach pain and diarrhea. Even if your dog does not experience tummy issues from eating too many dates, their high sugar content calls for moderation.


How many dates can a dog eat in a day?

Dates should be shared sparingly, maybe one or two at a time periodically. Dates are relatively high in sugar (16 grams per date), and dogs should eat a mostly sugar-free diet. Too many dates (and too much dietary fiber) can cause digestive upset and diarrhea.

Are dates toxic to dogs?

Dates contain high amounts of sugar and are often used as a natural sweetener in smoothies and baked goods. They can be eaten fresh, but are usually eaten partially dry and resemble a giant raisin (but unlike raisins, dates are not toxic to dogs).
