Blueberries Are blueberries ok as an occasional snack(like 1 or 2 blueberries once or twice a week) My two only get veggies for treats and snacks and I would like to give them something to change it up once in a while. Blueberries are not on the bad/toxic food list, but I want to be sure before I try them. They are in abundance in my area now and are a very good deal. I was going to buy up several pints and freeze them as we love them ourselves. |
Yes, they are a good treat. :) |
I give mine bb's all the time. They are yummy and great as an antioxident and also great fiber! Mine love them! :D |
I've given Kaji raspberries and strawberries, he likes them! I have yet to try blueberries. I don't see why not, unless someone knows something I don't. |
Thanks ladies. I thought they would probably be ok, but I wanted to be 100% They see me eating them and I am going to let them try one tonight and see how they do with it. |
blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and all are excellent for the pupsters. Mine get these berries almost daily. I even put berries in a gluten free whole grain puff cereal with a little goat milk for their breakfast or for lunch. They also get bananas, apples, pineapple, peaches and more. ;) I home cook, so they only get real food. |
I wish my girl liked berries and fruits. She won't touch them or veggies either for that matter! I really don't know whats wrong with her since most Yorkies like berries, fruits and veggies???!! |
If you read the label on some of the dry dog foods blueberries are sometimes listed as an ingredient. They are fine for them but as with anything not too many. |

My pups get two blueberries a day and love them. When I say, "Who wants a blueberry,?" they come running. ;) |

my girls love blueberries as well. I really don't think there is anything food related that they don't like:eek: |
Do you cut them to avoid choking? I would be nervous to give them whole. |
I gave them two each yesterday evening and Bogie gobbled his down. Jada was funny with hers she took it out of my hand then spit it out, tried to hide it under a pillow on the couch. I got it out from under the pillow and she grabbed it away from me. She let it sit in her mouth and got the middle out then spit out the peel. Then she got it and ate it. The second one I gave her she gobbled it down.:) |

I can't wait to let Rhett try them, he already loves green beans, carrots and banana. Little guy eats better than I do most days. |
Oh wow, I dropped two on the floor last night and wouldn't let him have them. I thought they might hurt him. I'll give him a couple! :) Blue Buffalo is a pretty good food? I almost bought that, but I went with Natures Recipe Terrier instead. He doesn't go crazy over it. |

I think I should be trying some of these samples you guys talk about. My guy is not crazy about anything I give him to eat other than cheese that I give him when he sits or lies down. I only have enough food to get through the week, I thought I'd try the Blue Buffalo and see how he likes it. I read somewhere where raisins and grapes are toxic and I thought the same about blueberries. Wish I hadn't snatched them up off the floor so quickly now. He actually had one in his mouth and I took it away. :) |

Unfortunately, they don't offer samples, but there is a $5.00 off coupon on their website, so I figured I would try it. Rhett gobbles it down dry. I've read some of the dogs here don't like the "life bits", but he doesn't discriminate against those. |
$5.00 off is a good bit for an $18 bag of dog food. I assume PetSmart will take the coupon? I don't understand the "life bits"? I'd like to find a food that he loves and that's good for him. He does the craziest thing when he eats, he'll grab a few pieces of food, run to the carpet and eat it, go back to his bowl and repeat. He barely eats a cup of food a day. |

Gosh a cup of food a day is a lot for these little guys. My Bogie is 7lbs and he eats not hardly 1/2 cup and Jada is 6lbs (she is overweight by 1lb) and she eats 1/4 cup,plus their veggies and fruit treats. How much does your little boy weigh? |
Mine love BB's too! Just be careful, Chloe decided to play with hers on my beige couch :rolleyes: That was fun to clean :p |
He's right at 5 lbs. I give him a cup a day in two seperate feedings (1/2 cup twice a day) because that's what's on the bag. He doesn't nearly eat all of it. I feel better now actually, I thought he wasn't eating enough. |

It does seem like a lot! Jackson is 16lbs and only eats 1/2 cup per day of dry food, but there's also some wet food mixed in, plus he gets treats throughout the day. Acana, which he eats, recommends 1 cup per day for a dog his size with his activity level but bags often put TOO much, I've found out. What food is recommending 1 cup a day for a 5lb dog? |
WE pick ours fresh then freeze them. They get a couple after breakfast! They love them frozen in the summer!! |

I just checked the bag again. For 2-5 lb 6-12 month puppies it says 3/4-1 1/4 cups a day. Out of the cup I put in his bowl a day he probably consumes half a cup. It's natures recipe chicken, barley and rice. |
