| Blueberries Does anyone know if blueberries are okay to feed to yorkies? I put blueberries in my cereal this morning and Maya and Scooter were staring at me as if to say "Where's my blueberries?". I was also wondering about other berries like strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.

| Blueberries are one of the ingredients in our dog food so they should be fine The other berries I've never seen on any bad lists but wonder if the seeds might be bad

| Seeds are fine it your dog doesn't have a problem with them. I give Ellie strawberries sometimes. Cucumber also has seeds and she gets those. I think it's whatever you're comfortable giving.

| I see lots of foods and treats w/ blueberries listed as the ingredients, so.... As with any think you are feeding for the first time, I would recommend only feeding a few at first at a time when you can watch them closely. They can have an allergic reaction to just about anything...better safe than sorry. |

| All fruit berries are just fine. I add berries to their non-fat plain yogurt. Dog's have a sweet tooth just like us, and is why they love the berries. |
