Pet-safe foods & drinks.
Everyday human foods and drinks that are generally safe to share with your dog, in moderation. Always introduce new foods slowly, keep portions small, and when in doubt, ask your vet.
Fruits & veggies
Fresh, washed, and seedless where noted. Skip pits, seeds, and rinds.
Apples
Cored and sliced — a crunchy, low-fat treat. Avoid seeds.
Bananas
In moderation; potassium-rich and gentle on the stomach.
Carrots
Raw or cooked, great for teeth and low in calories.
Green beans
Plain, raw or steamed — a filling, low-calorie snack.
Blueberries
Antioxidant-rich bite-sized treats; serve washed and plain.
Pumpkin (plain)
Plain canned purée soothes digestion; skip pie filling.
Proteins
Plain, fully cooked, and unseasoned — no butter, garlic, or onion.
Chicken
Cooked, skinless, boneless — bland and easy to digest.
Salmon (cooked)
Fully cooked, boneless; rich in omega-3s for coat and skin.
Eggs
Cooked plainly; a protein boost and can calm upset stomachs.
Lean beef
Cooked and trimmed of fat; a tasty high-protein treat.
Plain broth
Unsalted, no onion; great for hydration and flavor.
Grains & snacks
Plain, unsalted, and unsweetened versions only.
Plain rice
White rice, cooked, is gentle for tummy troubles.
Oatmeal
Plain cooked oats; good fiber for older dogs.
Plain yogurt
Unsweetened, no xylitol; supports digestion in small amounts.
Cheese
Low-salt, small portions; watch for lactose sensitivity.
Peanut butter
Unsalted, xylitol-free; smear inside a toy for enrichment.
Safe drinks
Skip flavored, sweetened, or caffeinated drinks.
Fresh water
Always available — the only drink a dog truly needs.
Bone broth (unsalted)
No onion or garlic; hydrating and soothing.
Coconut water
Plain, in small amounts; naturally electrolyte-rich.
This safe list is general guidance, not medical advice. Treats should make up no more than about 10% of your dog's daily calories, and new foods should be introduced in small amounts. Check with your vet about your dog's specific diet and allergies.
