Can dogs eat any melon types of fruits?

Answer 1

• It all depends on your dog but generally eating a watermelon rind will not harm a dog, it can give some dogs diarrhea or give some dogs some really smelly gas and/or even frighten the owners when the dogs stool comes out as a light or dark green color. It all depends on how it affects your specific dog..

Some things that are dangerous for your dog to consume include:

• Avocados (All parts of the avocado and avocado tree are toxic to dogs.)
• Macadamia Nuts (Macadamia nuts contain a known substance that is toxic to dogs)
• Grapes, Raisins (Grapes and raisins are dangerous because of a known substance which is toxic to dogs - affects canines kidneys)
• Chocolate (Chocolate contains Theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. This can be fatal to dogs.)
• Green parts of Tomatoes or Green Potatoes (Contain oxalate's, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems.)
• Nutmeg (Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures, and central nervous system damage.)
• Sugar-Free Foods (Sugar-free foods containing Xylitol have been found to cause liver failure in dogs.) Check with your vet before feeding your dog any kind of human foods.

Answer 2

Dogs can eat watermelon or other types of melons, though it is unusual as they are carnivores. Some dogs enjoy a slice of frozen watermelon in hot summers. The fruit is mostly just water.

The rinds are perfectly fine to eat, though most dogs probably wont eat it. The rind could help a dog clean their teeth because of the moist scrubbing. The rinds would probably turn their faeces slightly green because of the chlorophyll, which concerns some owners but does not cause any harm.

Fruit should only be given as a treat if your dog enjoys it. Never feed your dog grapes or avocado as these are toxic to them. If your dog likes apples, remove the seeds first as they contain small traces of cyanide (the reason humans dislike eating them).

It is very unusual for a dog to eat fruit, but some dogs do enjoy it.

Answer 3

Edit: It is unwise to feed dogs people food; there are many foods that we eat that they cannot including chocolate (which they love), avocados, grapes & raisins, and others.

Answer 4

Yes, they can, and it won't hurt them, but it should not be a large part of their diet, because dogs are carnivores (meat eaters).

Answer 5

Sure. Not a meal of it, but a little tidbit now and then won't hurt a dog.

Answer 6

While technically cantaloupe rinds should not harm a dog. They are not a recommended part of a dogs regular diet.

Answer 7

Only in small amounts - as an occasional treat. Dogs are meat-eaters - not vegetarians. too much fruit will upset their digestive system.

Answer 8

Yes but not the seeds
