Can Dogs Eat Dates?
By Dr. Mafalda Sardinha
Dates are sweet and nutrient-dense for us, but pet owners often wonder if they're just as safe for dogs.
In this video, Dr. Mafalda Sardinha explains whether and how dogs can safely enjoy dates.
Key Takeaways from Dr. Mafalda:
• Not Toxic, But Sugary: Dates are safe in moderation, but their natural sugar content means they should stay an occasional treat.
• Always Remove the Pit: It's a genuine choking and intestinal obstruction risk.
• Introduce Slowly: Start with small portions and watch for any digestive upset.

Hello, I'm Dr. Mafalda. Can dogs eat dates? Yes, but in moderation. Dates are not toxic to dogs, but they are high in natural sugars and should only be given as an occasional treat. Always remove the pit first as it can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal obstruction. When introducing any new food, keep portions small and monitor your dogs for digestive upset.
