🐾 Can Dogs Have Blackberries? The Sweet Truth About Dogs and Berries

At The Woof & Whiskers Co., we know how hard it is to resist those puppy-dog eyes when you’re snacking on something sweet and healthy — like a handful of juicy blackberries. But before you share, let’s answer one of the most common questions dog parents have:

👉 Can dogs have blackberries?

🫐 Can Dogs Have Blackberries?

Yes! 🐶 Dogs can safely eat blackberries — in moderation. Blackberries are low in calories and sugar, and they’re packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.

They make an excellent occasional treat that supports your dog’s immune system and digestion.

✅ Benefits of Blackberries for Dogs:

  • Rich in Vitamin C, K, and fiber

🐕 Can Dog Have Blackberry?

(Yes, we know — everyone types this one fast!) 😉

So, can dog have blackberry? Absolutely. Just make sure to:

  • Wash them thoroughly to remove pesticides.

  • Cut them into smaller pieces for small breeds.

  • Avoid giving them daily — treat them like an occasional reward.

🍇 Can Dogs Have Raspberries and Blackberries?

Yes — dogs can enjoy both raspberries and blackberries in small amounts. Both fruits are loaded with antioxidants and fiber, but raspberries contain a tiny bit of xylitol, a natural compound that can be harmful in large doses.

So if you’re offering raspberries, make sure:

  • You serve no more than 2–3 raspberries for small dogs

  • And 5–6 for larger breeds

Alternating between raspberries and blackberries keeps your pup’s snack time exciting and healthy!

✅ Safe Ways to Serve Blackberries to Dogs:

  • Fresh or frozen (avoid canned or sweetened versions)

  • Mixed with plain yogurt for a refreshing summer snack

  • Mashed and frozen into ice cube trays for enrichment

🚫 Avoid:

  • Blackberry jams, syrups, or desserts (too much sugar!)

  • Moldy or spoiled berries

  • Overfeeding

A few blackberries here and there? Perfectly fine. A whole pint? Not so much!

💜 Are Blackberries Good for Dogs?

  • Low in sugar and calories

  • High in antioxidants that promote cell health
