Can My Chihuahua Eat Watermelon?
Watermelon makes for a delicious and healthy treat for your Chihuahua. The seeds could possibly cause some digestive issues or even make them really sick so you want to make sure to take them out before giving it to them. Just like with any human food being given to your Chihuahua, you don’t want to give them too much of it too often. This isn’t a food that can cause dog obesity but they don’t need human food that often no matter what it is.
My Chihuahua loves watermelon. I usually buy a seedless watermelon at the store and use a melon baller to make little treats for him and he can’t get enough of it! It’s not something I give him everyday so he gets pretty excited when I do. Also, the rind of the melon could also be harmful so don’t feed that to them either.
Watermelons are very low in calories and do have nutritional value. It has a powerful antioxidant in it called lycopene. It’s also high in vitamins A and C and has a good amount of potassium in it. All of these which really can’t be bad for your dog!
