F*CK...the Dog ate all MY STRAWBERRIES
You blinked. You turned around for two seconds. And now your dog’s sitting there looking smug AF — strawberry juice on their chin and not a single berry left for you.
So…
Do you panic?
Do you call the vet?
Do you open Google in full spiral mode?
Here’s the real answer:
You chill.
Because honestly? Your dog might be onto something.
Wait — Can Dogs Eat Strawberries?
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Absolutely, and they're kind of a flex when it comes to dog-safe fruits.
Strawberries are:
- Low in calories
- Full of fiber
- Packed with antioxidants
- Loaded with vitamin C
- Naturally sweet, not processed
Translation? Your dog just made a very nutritious snack decision (accidental or not).
Strawberries = Nature’s Multivitamin (Kinda)
Here’s why strawberries are more than just a juicy mess:
✅ Vitamin C – Boosts immunity and helps reduce inflammation
✅ Fiber – Aids digestion and helps with healthy poops
✅ Antioxidants – Fight free radicals and support long-term wellness
✅ Manganese & Folate – Help with metabolism and cellular health
✅ Malic Acid – May even help whiten your dog’s teeth naturally
Let’s be honest, your dog probably has better skin than you now.
But Hold Up — Don’t Go Full Fruit Salad Yet
As always, moderation matters. Strawberries are sweet, and too much of a good thing =
🚫 Upset stomach
🚫 Sugar overload
🚫 Diarrhea (aka regret in carpet form)
Here’s what’s safe:
🐶 Small dogs: 1–2 small strawberries
🐕 Medium dogs: 2–3 strawberries
🦮 Large dogs: 3–5 strawberries
Always remove the stems and cut ‘em up. Whole berries can be a choking hazard, especially for small dogs or chaos chewers.
When to Skip the Strawberries
Not every pup is ready to join the berry club.
❌ If your dog has diabetes or is on a low-sugar diet
❌ If they have a sensitive stomach
❌ If it’s covered in whipped cream or dipped in chocolate (duh)
Start slow, introduce gently, and see how they handle it. If your dog turns into a fart-powered berry cannon, maybe back off.
Fun Ways to Serve Strawberries to Your Dog
🥄 Mash into meals — A sweet topper for kibble or raw food
🧊 Freeze into pupsicles — Blend with plain Greek yogurt and freeze
🍽 Stuff in a Kong — Mix with banana and smear into a toy
🧼 DIY dental pop — Freeze a slice and offer for a light teeth-cleaning snack
Pro tip: serve cold for an instant serotonin boost on hot days.
Who Needs a Fruit Bowl Anyway?
Yeah, your dog ate your strawberries.
But turns out, they might’ve just given you an excuse to buy more.
Strawberries are a safe, healthy, and dog-approved treat — when served in moderation, with the green tops gone, and zero extra sugar nonsense.
Next time? Maybe prep an extra bowl. One for you. One for your very fruity freeloader.
