Can Dogs Eat Bananas?

Why

Bananas contain no toxins of concern for dogs. The main consideration is sugar content — bananas are higher in natural sugar than most berries, so they work best as an occasional treat rather than a daily one, especially for dogs managing their weight.

Serving tips

• Peel first — the peel is hard to digest and can cause a blockage in large amounts
• Serve in small slices, especially for small dogs
• Limit to a few slices a few times a week
• Avoid banana chips or dried banana with added sugar
