Use Caution

Cranberries — Feed with caution

Cranberries are generally safe for dogs in small to moderate amounts and can even offer some health benefits, particularly for urinary tract health. However, large quantities can cause gastrointestinal upset due to their acidity and fiber content. Always introduce new foods slowly and in moderation.

DOSE THRESHOLD
