Can Dogs Eat Bananas?

Yes, in moderation

Yes. Peeled banana is a safe, low-fat treat that provides potassium and fibre. It is high in natural sugar, so offer a few slices rather than a whole banana, and skip it for dogs with diabetes unless your vet agrees.

Tips

  • Remove the peel — it is hard to digest and can cause a blockage
  • Too much can cause constipation or loose stools
  • Frozen banana slices make a good summer treat
