Safety guide

Is Cranberries safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Yes — plain cranberries are safe for dogs in small amounts.

Plain fresh, cooked or dried cranberries are non-toxic and can be fed in small quantities as an occasional treat. Avoid sweetened cranberry sauce, juice blends and trail-mix style products — many contain added sugar, and dried-fruit mixes often include raisins or grapes, which are seriously toxic to dogs. Too many cranberries can cause an upset stomach, so keep portions modest.

Symptoms to watch for

  • Mild stomach upset
  • Loose stools
