Summer’s Here! 8 Healthy Fruits Your Dog Can Eat 

Hey dog moms and dads!
Summer heat got you hiding indoors with the AC on full blast? Don’t forget your pup needs to stay cool too! Today we’re sharing 8 dog-safe fruits that are not only super healthy, but also perfect for turning into fun frozen treats your dog will love. 🍧🐶


1. Watermelon 🍉

Juicy, hydrating, and low in calories—watermelon is a summer favorite for a reason! Just make sure to remove all seeds and the rind before sharing with your dog.

2. Apple 🍎

Crisp and full of fiber and vitamin C, apples make a great snack. Be sure to remove the core and seeds first!

3. Banana 🍌

Bananas are naturally sweet and packed with potassium and vitamin B6. Just serve in moderation—too much can upset sensitive tummies.

4. Blueberries 🫐

A superfood for dogs too! These little guys are full of antioxidants and make a great training treat.

5. Strawberries 🍓

These sweet berries are rich in vitamin C and help fight inflammation. Rinse them well and serve fresh!

6. Pineapple 🍍

Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion. Just a few small pieces (without the tough core) will do!

7. Pear 🍐

Pears are hydrating and high in fiber. Make sure to remove the seeds and core, and cut into small, bite-sized pieces.

8. Cantaloupe 🍈

Loaded with water and vitamins A and C, cantaloupe is a perfect summer fruit. Remove the seeds and let your pup enjoy!


DIY Frozen Fruit Treats for Dogs 🍦

Want to get fancy? Here’s how to make a simple dog-friendly fruit popsicle:

  1. Pick one or more fruits from the list above and chop into small pieces.

  2. Mix with plain yogurt (no sugar or xylitol) or water in a blender.

  3. Pour into ice cube trays or silicone molds.

  4. Freeze for 6+ hours —summer snacks for your pup!

Quick Tips:
✔️ Always introduce new fruits in small amounts to check for allergies or tummy trouble.
✔️ Avoid grapes, cherries, and citrus fruits—they’re not safe for dogs.
