Yes. Blueberries are one of the best fruit treats for dogs: small, low in calories and rich in antioxidants and fibre. Fresh or frozen blueberries work well as training treats.

What you need to know
How to offer it safely
- Offer fresh or frozen, plain blueberries.
- Halve them for very small dogs or dogs that gulp.
- Count them in your dog's treat calories.
Treats, including human food, should make up no more than about 10% of your dog's daily calories. Our calorie calculator shows your dog's daily needs. Introduce any new food slowly and stop if it causes vomiting or loose stools.
