CAN DOGS EAT MANGO FRUIT?
The fruit of mangos is a great natural treat for dogs. They should not have the skin or stone but the flesh gives them a treat full of vitamins. Mangos are high with vitamin A, B6, C and E. They are also a good source of potassium which aids dog's muscles and nerves.
The fiber in mangos can also help towards an upset stomach.
Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.
