It turns out that even seasoned predators like wolves eat fruit – they pick up fallen fruit from the ground in an attempt to quench their thirst.

Our dogs are also not prohibited from eating fruits and berries.

You can include apples and pears, strawberries and raspberries, and even watermelon in your animals' diet.

The main thing is to follow a few recommendations so that the treat will definitely benefit your pets.

First of all, it is worth noting that only fresh and ripe fruits are suitable for feeding dogs.

They should definitely be washed thoroughly before offering them to your pet. It doesn’t matter where the products were bought – in a supermarket or at a market.

To avoid unpleasant consequences, such supplements to the main feed should be given only in small portions. The recommended dose of fruit is 100 g, while 3-4 berries are enough.

Make sure that on the day of taking the berries, there are no dairy products in the tail's "menu".

Finally, berries and fruits should be offered separately from the main meal.
