Can Dogs Eat Blueberries? Here’s the Juicy Truth

Let’s talk about a berry big question: Can dogs eat blueberries? The short answer? Yes! And not only can they—blueberries can actually be a healthy, tail-wagging treat for your pup.

At Shameless Pets, we love using upcycled, nutritious ingredients, and blueberries are one of our favorites. Here’s why your dog might just go bananas (or should we say blueberries) for this tiny superfruit.

Why Blueberries Are Good for Dogs

Blueberries are packed with:

• Antioxidants: These help fight free radicals and support your dog’s immune system.
  

• Vitamins C & K: Great for keeping your dog’s skin, coat, and bones in top shape.
  

• Fiber: Helps support healthy digestion.
  

• Low calories, no added sugar: Making them a great snack for dogs watching their waistlines.
  

They’re also soft, easy to chew, and don’t require any prep (besides a quick rinse), so they’re perfect for training, topping a meal, or as a refreshing summertime snack.

Are There Any Risks?

Like any treat, moderation is key. Too many blueberries can cause an upset tummy—especially for smaller dogs. And while they’re safe for most pups, it’s always smart to introduce new foods slowly and check with your vet if your dog has dietary sensitivities or underlying health issues.

Skip blueberry-flavored foods made for humans—like muffins, yogurt with added sugar, or anything with artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol, which is toxic to dogs).

How to Feed Your Dog Blueberries

Here are a few easy, fun ways to add blueberries to your dog’s day:

• Use them as low-cal training treats
  

• Freeze them for a crunchy summer snack
  

• Mix into your dog’s food for a nutritious boost
  

• Try Shameless Pets treats like Blueberried Treasure soft-baked biscuits—made with upcycled blueberries for a sweet, sustainable bite.

The Bottom Line: Blueberries aren’t just safe for dogs—they’re berry good for them! Just stick to fresh, simple, dog-friendly versions, and your pup will be one happy snacker.
