Is Watermelon Good for Dogs?

Aside from the delicious taste of watermelon, there are a ton of nutritional value with Vitamins A, C, and B-6, plus Potassium. But is it safe for dogs? PetMD says dogs can eat watermelon , both red and yellow, but there's a catch.

"Dogs that have diabetes or sugar sensitivities as well as dogs that are obese should not be given the fruit," the site says. For those that can have it, it's low in calories, has not fat or cholesterol, and is great for hydration due to its water content (hence the name!).

Also, before feeding your dog some of the sweet treat, make sure to remove seeds and rinds. The rinds can be a choking hazard and actually cause intestinal blockage if consumed, while seeds contain cyanide which, consumed in large quantities can be fatal.

The amount of watermelon a dog should eat varies by size, beginning with 1-2 slices for smaller dogs like Yorkies and Pugs, while larger dogs like German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers can have a handful of slices. Just be sure to cut them into small pieces before serving.

Doug obviously enjoyed his watermelon and your pup can, too!
