Is kiwi good or bad for dogs?
Kiwifruit is not considered toxic to dogs and is a nutrient-dense fruit, a good source of vitamin C, fiber and potassium. It is also high in fiber and water content. The risks are mechanical and portion-based: because kiwis are small, a whole one is a choking hazard, and too much fiber at once can loosen the stool.
How much kiwi can a dog have?
A few small slices or dice — an occasional treat, not a regular one.
How to prepare it
Peel it and cut it into small pieces. Never give a whole kiwi.
