I'm eating a little fruit salad with pineapples, watermelon, honeydew and strawberries. My dog loves all of them.
Is it okay to give her some or should I cut her off?

Fruits that you have mentioned giving your dog are all fine, they make excellent treats because they do not tend to plump your dogs figure like milkbone treats tend to do. They may like someone else said give her some soft stool, due to the water and fiber content but that is no problem. Watch and do not give her more than 1 stalk from a bunch of celery per 20 pounds of body weight a day because celery has natural diuretic (water excreting) properties and will dehydrate your dog. Do not feed your dog grapes or raisins because some dogs have reactions to them which cause acute kidney failure. Do not feed your dog chocolate or onions because it can affect their blood and cause death (some dogs are more sensitive to these than others).
All of the fruit you said your dog eats are safe!
Good luck!

Fruit is an excellent source of fiber for your dog. Dos are omnivorous, not carnivorous as mst people think. Too much of anything is not good for anyone. Treat your dog to fruits and veggies, although be wary of raisins, grapes and onions as they can be toxic in small doses. Melons, strawberries, carrots and apples are generally accepted by most dogs. Enjoy!

Of course everyone is going to tell you that it's not good for your dog. BUT I give my dog bites of whatever I'm eating all the time. But be prepared that it might cause them to have diarrhea.

my dog has stolen A LOT of chocolate and it didn't make her sick and obviously she is still alive. I mean she will get on a kitchen table to get chocolate. We have to be sure to put it in a cabinet, but there is always that slip up and she eats it. lol

A dog's digestive system works much like ours do. They are omnivores like us - not just carnivores as some will say. If your dog is seeking fruit from you let him eat it, he may be lacking some of the essencial vitamins therein.

It is fine to give her any of those fruits and if she likes them better yet.
Do not feed grapes or raisins but other fruit is fine in small quantities.
My dogs love most fruit.

Grapes, raisins, seeds and pits are all seen poisonous to canine. you may even regardless of the undeniable fact that provide your canine slices of apple, seedless orange, etc. the shown fact that those people who're feeding their canine culmination that are seen risky and the canine are nonetheless high quality could be because of the fact it takes time for some issues to break the physique. case in point, grapes are familiar to reason kidney failure. this would not ensue over-evening. It takes time and prolonged exposure for consequences of the toxin to instruct. for occasion: A smoker who only started smoking would not quickly die of lung maximum cancers. It takes time for the physique to instruct the long term impacts.

dogs have been domesticated and lived with humans for ages and we all have fed the dog under the table. so since dogs have eaten our food they have come to be omnivores and eat meat and vegetables just like humans. thats what i learned in ap bio 2day anywayz, lol, its totally kewl 2 give ur dog fruit. it wont make her sick.

I give my dog fruit allll the time. She loves it, and it hasn't hurt her yet! She especially loves berries (but tosses them in the air and gets stains everywhere!!) and when she was a puppy, she ate bananas.
