Safety guide
Is Cantaloupe safe for dogs?
Safe for dogs
Yes — cantaloupe flesh is safe for dogs in moderation.
Cantaloupe (melon) flesh is hydrating and packed with vitamins A and C, fibre and water, making it a refreshing treat. Remove the rind and all seeds and offer only the flesh in bite-sized pieces — the rind is tough to digest and can cause an obstruction, while the seeds are a choking hazard. It is high in natural sugar, so serve sparingly, particularly for overweight or diabetic dogs.
