Well you answered your own question...your chihuahua CAN and DID eat blueberries! Your question may be "should" he eat them, as in will it hurt him...and the answer is...it is just fine to let him eat some blueberries...but I would be careful if he poops on the rug because the stain would be terrible.

yes that would be very good but not too many because there is and acid in blueberries that CAN cause a wee tummy ache for animals.
aprox 5-12 a week

My dogs are now 13 and 15 years old. They both absolutely love fruits and berries. My oldest dog will eat a banana out of the peel if you hold it (slightly unpeeled). They only get fruit occasionally as treats and don't get any other table food.
Dogs in the wild eat fruit and berries. Mine have eaten fruit and berries all their lives and haven't had problems. Ask your vet if you have concerns.

It's ok but don't give him too much. Maybe at the most 2 a day. Alot of blue berries could make his stomach hurt!

A little late to ask but my guess is that if he's ok, its fine. experiment over.

watch out, some fruits are very acidic. DOGS ARE CARNIVORES! THEY LIKE MEAT.
