Mango is a sweet, tropical treat most dogs love — with two simple rules.
Why it's okay. Ripe mango flesh is rich in vitamins A, C, E, and B6 plus fiber, making it a nice occasional snack.
How to serve it. Fresh and ripe, with the skin peeled and the pit removed, cut into small pieces. The pit is a choking hazard (and holds a trace of cyanide), and the skin is tough to digest — flesh only.
Keep it small. Mango is high in natural sugar, so a few small pieces is plenty. See the full everyday safe-foods list here: everypethaven.com/blog/can-my-pet-eat/.
