Natural Dog Health Remedies: Goji Berries for Dogs


From the article:

Dr. Brown, a specialist in the toxicology area at the Cornell University Veterinary School, that goji berries are not a problem for dogs!


However, if you do decide to give goji berries to your dog, here are a few things to bear in mind:

Since goji berries are high in sugar levels, it may not be a good idea to give them to dogs with blood sugar problems (e.g. diabetes).

Goji berries may have blood-thinning effects, so do not give them to dogs who are going to have surgeries.

Goji berries are found to have adverse interactions with some drugs (e.g. warfarin, drugs for diabetes); therefore, check with a holistic vet first if your dog is on medication.

Goji berries imported from China may have high levels of pesticides and insecticides, so be sure to check the source before purchasing.
