Can dogs eat raspberries?
AKC and ASPCA list raspberries as a fine snack in moderation. Their natural xylitol is low compared with the dose that harms dogs (AKC). That's why AKC advises no more than 8 ounces.
How to serve it: fresh or frozen, unsweetened
Good to know: Skip sweetened raspberry products like jam (AKC). Added xylitol, as in sugar-free products, is toxic to dogs.
