Coat Care Outdoor Spray

Pet owners often enjoy sharing snacks with their furry companions, and many wonder which fruits and vegetables are safe. The answer is: some are excellent additions in moderation, while others should never be offered.

Safe options include papaya, pumpkin, carrots, cucumber, green beans, and mung beans. Papaya is rich in digestive enzymes and vitamin C, supporting gut health. Pumpkin provides fiber that helps with both constipation and diarrhea. Mung beans are high in protein and have cooling properties in traditional wellness practices, which can be soothing during hot weather. Carrots add crunch and help with dental care.

However, certain foods are dangerous. Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure; onions and garlic damage red blood cells; avocados contain persin, which is toxic to pets. Even safe foods should be served in small pieces with seeds and pits removed. Too much fruit can lead to stomach upset because of natural sugars.

When introducing new foods, observe your pet for any allergic reactions or digestive issues. Every animal is unique—what works for one may not suit another.
