Guides for life with dogs, from snacks to routines.
Dogs can eat a small amount of plain, fully cooked potato if it suits their diet. Do not intentionally feed raw potatoes, green potatoes, sprouts or potato plants. Keep butter, gravy, onions, garlic and seasoning out of a portion meant for the dog. [1]
Yes, most healthy dogs can have a few plain blueberries as an occasional treat. Wash them, remove stems and check for spoilage. Mash or cut the berries if whole ones are difficult for your dog to manage. Blueberries are optional extras, not a substitute for complete dog food. [1]
No. Dogs should not eat grapes or raisins. If your dog ate either, call your veterinarian or an emergency veterinary hospital now, even if your dog is acting normally. Cornell advises treating any ingestion as an emergency because the amount that causes harm is unpredictable. [1]
Yes, most healthy dogs can eat a little plain apple flesh. Wash the apple, remove the stem, seeds and core, and cut the fruit into pieces your dog can comfortably manage. Apples are an optional snack, not a requirement for a balanced diet. [1]
