Can dogs eat blueberries?
Safe to eat

Blueberries are low in calories and high in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which may support cognitive function in aging dogs and joint and bone health in active dogs. They can be fed fresh or frozen and are small enough not to need cutting. As with all treats, feed in moderation.
How much is safe
A small handful; wash first and keep treats under 10% of the daily diet.
