Juneberries are known by many names including saskatoon berries, sarvisberries, chuckleberries, shadblow, shadbush, blueberry tree, and chuckley pear.
There is only anecdotal evidence when it comes to juneberries as no studies have been done to ensure their safety when given to dogs. The anecdotal evidence suggests that juneberries are safe to eat as long as they are prepared properly. The seeds, stems and leaves all contain cyanogenic glycosides. When this compound interacts with a dog’s stomach bile, it turns into cyanide. If your dog has eaten either the seeds, stems or leaves of a juneberry, contact your vet immediately. If your dog eats a juneberry and then begins to show symptoms including abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst, loss of consciousness, get to a vet immediately.
While the flesh of a juneberry is safe for dogs, it is still best to exercise caution when feeding your pup these berries. Only ever offer a small amount of juneberries that are properly prepared. Always monitor your dog after offering any new foods. Treats of any kind should never amount to more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet.
To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
