What happens if dogs eat blueberries?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Although blueberries are a healthy treat, their small size could present a choking hazard for some dogs. Eating too many could also result in digestive upset. 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.


Are blueberries toxic for dogs?

Yes, whether you feed them fresh, frozen, dried, or mashed, blueberries are a safe treat for your dog. With only 84 calories per cup of fruit, they are also a safe treat for diabetic dogs (but you'll want to check with your vet before offering them) or used as a training treat.

How much blueberries can dogs eat?

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.
