Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As with anything, in moderation. Whether an animal or person, the sensitivity to certain foods is not the same but varies among individuals. There isn't a toxic dose of watermelon. I just recommend starting off with small amounts and increase it next time if tolerated. I hope this helps
