🥬 Vegetable
Can dogs eat celery?
Safe to eat
Yes, in moderation.
Why
Celery is very low in fat and a good source of fiber and vitamins A, C, and K, and is often recommended as a treat for dogs that need to lose weight. It can even help freshen breath. Because it is crunchy and stringy, it should be cut into bite-sized pieces to avoid choking.
How much is safe
Bite-sized pieces as a treat, kept under 10% of the daily diet.
