Cucumber — Generally safe
Cucumber is generally safe for dogs and can be a healthy, low-calorie treat. It is rich in vitamins K, C, and B1, as well as potassium and copper. Always offer in moderation and cut into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking, especially for smaller dogs.
DOSE THRESHOLD
Safe in moderation; choking hazard if pieces are too large.
