Are bananas a good treat for dogs?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! 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.
