Detailed Information

Raspberries are safe for dogs and provide antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C, and manganese. They are relatively low in sugar. Note: raspberries naturally contain trace amounts of xylitol, but the amount is far too small to cause harm at normal serving sizes. A dog would need to eat cups and cups of raspberries for the xylitol content to be concerning — the fiber and digestive effects would be an issue long before xylitol toxicity. Serve fresh, washed, in moderation.
