Should Dogs Eat Oranges?

When it comes to my canine companion, I’m not that strict. While there are rules that she has to follow, I go for more of a fun mom approach. I just really like spoiling her, which you would understand if you saw her. She’s the cutest pup I’ve ever seen. And yes, I am biased.

That being said, I’m not super lenient when it comes to sharing food with her. While she often gives me total puppy dog eyes when I’m eating in front of her, I don’t usually give in. That is unless the food happens to be safe for canine consumption.

Fortunately for my furry friend, oranges are actually fine to give dogs, as reported by the American Kennel Club. However, you should never give them the peel, as it could cause serious digestive issues.

You’ll also need to cut the fruit into a tiny piece before handing it to your furry friend. In addition, the fruit should be given as an occasional treat. After all, it does have a relatively high sugar content.

You should always speak to your dog’s vet before adding anything to their diet!
