Unfortunately, there are fruits that might be very beneficial to humans but could only cause harm to our canine friends. So, what are those we can share with our best bud?
APPLES

Best even for senior dogs, your pup will surely won't be able to resist its juicy and pleasant texture. It is also a combination of sweet, sour, and bitter flavor making this fruit unique.
BANANAS

It also has low sodium and cholesterol levels, perfect even for those who have health problems. But be reminded not to let your dog over consume this. Bananas have high sugar content, which can put your dog's life at risk.
BLUEBERRIES
Another fruit you should definitely have to include in your canine's diet is blueberries.

So why not grab some for him now. Your little furry friend will surely love you more for that.
MANGO
Mangoes don't just taste good but it is also packed with a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for your beloved pooch. It contains vitamins A, B6, C, and E, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene.
Despite its amazing flavor and benefits, experts from the American Kennel Club say it also has high sugar content so giving your pooch a lot of this fruit is a big no. Also, it is a must to remember not all parts of mango are edible-its skin is hard for your dog's little tummy to digest. Furthermore, it also has cyanide that can be toxic, as explained by Purina.
Other fruits you can give to your dog as a treats are oranges and peaches. These fruits are a good source of vitamins A and C, and also rich in fiber. Other treats your dog would surely love are pineapples, strawberries, raspberries, and watermelons too.
