Detailed Information

Fresh mango is a safe treat for dogs when properly prepared. It is rich in vitamins A, B6, C, and E, plus fiber and potassium. Before serving, remove the tough skin and the large pit — the pit contains small amounts of cyanogenic compounds and poses a serious choking and intestinal obstruction hazard. Cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Like all fruits, mango is relatively high in natural sugar and should be given as an occasional treat.
