Is melon good for dogs?
Melon is low in calories and provides moisture, fibre and vitamins such as vitamins A and C. It is generally safe for dogs in moderation as a treat or food ingredient. Remove the rind and seeds before feeding.
Can dogs eat melon skin?
Dogs should only eat the flesh of melon, not the skin or rind. The rind is tough and fibrous, which can be difficult to digest and may cause a blockage. Always cut melon into small, manageable pieces.
