Can dogs eat bananas?

Yes, dogs can safely eat bananas in moderation. Bananas are a good source of natural energy and can serve as a low-fat alternative to processed dog treats. They're also easy to digest and can be helpful for dogs with sensitive stomachs. The natural sugars provide quick energy, making them a nice post-exercise snack.

Benefits of bananas:

• Natural energy boost – Bananas are high in carbohydrates, which can give your dog a quick energy boost, especially before physical activity.
• Digestive support – The fiber in bananas can help with digestion and regulate bowel movements.
• Low in fat and cholesterol – A healthy, low-fat treat option for dogs watching their weight.
• Mild on the stomach – Great for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

How much to feed:

• Start with small pieces to see how your dog tolerates them.
• For small dogs, a few small pieces are plenty, while larger dogs can handle up to half a banana as an occasional treat.
