🍌 Are Bananas Safe (or Toxic) For Dogs❓

What Fruits Are Safe for Your Dog? Let’s Find Out! 🐾

January 13, 2025

When your dog is under the dinner table begging with those irresistible puppy eyes 🥺, it’s hard not to give in.

And sometimes, you don’t even get the chance to decide—those fallen scraps are already in their mouth before you can say, "No!"

If you’ve ever panicked about your dog accidentally snacking on human food, you’re not alone.

While some fruits, like strawberries 🍓, are perfectly fine in moderation, others, like grapes 🍇, are highly toxic and can cause serious issues like kidney failure.

So, what about bananas? 🍌 Are they safe?

Yes! Bananas are safe for dogs to eat – but they shouldn’t become part of their regular diet. Bananas can be a yummy treat 🍴, but only in small amounts.

How Much Banana Can I Give My Dog❓ 🐕

Bananas make a great occasional treat because they’re full of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. 🎉 However, they’re also high in sugar, which can lead to weight gain if given in excess.

Pro tip: Try using bananas for homemade dog treats! How about:

  • ❄️ No-Bake Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Treats

Your pup will love you for it! 💕

Do Bananas Cause Diarrhea❓ 💩

They can. Because bananas are high in fiber and sugar, too much might upset your dog’s stomach. Every dog is different, so start with a small amount and see how they react.

Can Dogs Eat Banana Peels 🍌❓

Good news! Banana peels aren’t toxic, so you can breathe a sigh of relief if your dog accidentally gobbles one up. 😅 However, the fiber in the peel can cause an upset stomach, so it’s best to avoid letting them snack on it intentionally.
