Blackberries are an excellent dog-safe berry — low in sugar, high in antioxidants (anthocyanins), fiber, and vitamins C and K. Like blueberries, they support cellular health and make a perfect bite-sized, low-calorie treat.
Serve fresh or frozen and plain. As with all treats, moderation keeps the sugar and fiber from causing any mild stomach upset. Wild blackberries are also safe, but only pick where you’re certain no pesticides have been used.
