Banana is fine to give Buddy as an occasional treat, but I would not give it to him daily. It's most important that his diet consists of a puppy formulated food so he grows properly. I will put a link below that lists fruits that are safe to give him as an occasional treat (one or twice a week in small amounts). I hope this helps! http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

    A tiny slice of banana is fine as an occasional treat. Too much may lead to stomach upset. Apple slices (no seeds) can also be offered in moderation. Green beans, baby carrots and broccoli can also be offered as occasional treats. Visit the "Can I Give My Pet...?" Section in the Educational Center to learn more. https://www.petcoach.co/educational-center/canigive/

Can a 2 month old puppy eat apple and banana?
Yes, it's okay for a 2 month old puppy to have small bites of apple and banana as an occasional treat. I would not recommend giving large amounts, as this may upset his stomach and cause some diarrhea.

What fruits and veg can u feed a 9 week old puppy shepkita?
Stick with peas, carrots, green beans, blue berries, apples and bananas. Some dogs also like zucchini and pumpkin. Fresh, frozen, canned (no salt added) or cooked (no spices/oil) are all fine. I hope this helps.

Are bananas a good treat for dogs?
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco! Yes, bananas are a good treat and are safe to give. This is a potassium rich fruit that is a good alternative to the traditional dog treats that you get from the store. Bananas are high in fiber, which can help with gastrointestinal problems and magnesium which helps promote bone growth and helps the body produce protein and absorb vitamins.

Can I feed my puppy any types of Fruits or Vegetables? Something healthy for her.
Most fruits and vegetables are fine. You need to avoid grapes, raisins, onions, garlic or any fruits/veggies that are within these families. I would recommend green beans, peas, carrots, apples, bananas, sweet potato, lettuce and zucchini. Please post again if you have any further questions about Cookie!

Can i feed my 4 month old Rottweiler bananas and apples?
Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! It's ok to feed food items like this in small amounts. I will copy a link here to learn what food items to avoid. I have never heard of bananas or apples causing problems in pets but some other common food items can be toxic. Just stay away from the known problem foods and any other foods that you give her that cause gastrointestinal upset. https://www.petcoach.co/article/10-common-foods-that-are-toxic-to-dogs-and-cats/ Good luck with Toffee

What foods can dogs eat please tell me something dogs eat
The best food to feed Bentley is a high quality puppy formulated food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet, or Purina ProPlan. That's all he needs to be healthy. It's not recommend to feed him human food on a daily basis, as that can lead to obesity and further health problems. I will give you a link to a website that shows human foods dogs can have on an occasional basis: http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/human-foods-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

my puppy is currently 3 months old and i wanted to know when can i start cooking him fresh food only in water
You can give Lukas some fresh food as an occasional treat, but not as a daily diet. Puppies need higher amounts of protein, calories, and calcium than adult dogs, and he should only be fed a puppy formulated food to meet his nutritional requirements. It's very hard to do that with a home diet. I will put a list below of fruits and veggies that are safe to feed him as a treat. He can also have boiled white meat chicken (no bones), boiled lean meat, and boiled eggs as an occasional treat. I hope this helps! http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/

Which foods i can give to my puppy which are available at home i.e which fruits , vegetables and more?
Great question! I will give you links to websites that list foods Oscar can never have, and food that he can have on occasion. It's not recommended to give him too much human food, as that can lead to obesity, which then leads to heart problems, diabetes, and joint problems. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets http://www.akc.org/content/health/articles/fruits-vegetables-dogs-can-and-cant-eat/
