Mangoes are a delicious treat for humans. When they are perfectly ripe there isn’t much in the world that can rival that juicy fruit. Can you share some with your pup?

Yes mango is safe for pups, in moderation. Mango is high in fiber and vitamins all which are wonderful for your pup. However, it is also high in carbs and sugar which can be detrimental to your pup. Excess sugar in your pup’s diet can lead to diabetes and obesity. 

When you give your dog some mango, you will need to remove the skin, and giant pit. The pit can splinter and cause internal laceration of your dog’s digestive tract. Give your pup small pieces that your dog can easily eat without choking. 

The amount of mango your pup can eat will vary based on size, but should not be more than a small treat. 

Pups can also eat dried mango, but the texture does make it more of a choking hazard. So be sure to watch your dog while he’s snacking. Also the sugar is more concentrated in dried mango, so your pup can only have a very small portion.
