How to feed raspberries to dogs?

Although raspberries are very healthy, they are by no means a main food for dogs. Rather, they are suitable as a supplement to dog food.

  • Wash fruit well before eating
  • Enjoy raspberries from the edge of the forest with caution
  • may be infected with fox tapeworm
