Can dogs eat bananas?
Generally safe in small amounts. High in natural sugar, so usually an occasional treat.
Bananas are generally listed as safe for dogs and are a source of potassium and fibre. Because they are relatively high in natural sugar, veterinary sources tend to describe them as an occasional treat rather than a regular addition, offered in small pieces.
Classification reflects guidance from VCA, PDSA.
