So I was wondering if I could give my dog cucumbers as a snack and turns out yeah, you totally can. Actually they're pretty good for dogs too, which is kinda cool. Low calorie, tons of water in them, so they're solid for keeping them hydrated especially in summer. My vet basically said just keep it simple - wash them, slice them up, and don't overdo it. Apparently treats including cucumber should only be like 10% of their daily calories or something. For smaller dogs just a couple slices a few times a week is fine. One cup of sliced cucumber is only around 15 calories so it's not gonna mess with their diet. The main thing is cutting them into bite-sized pieces so they don't choke on them. Some dogs might have trouble digesting the seeds so I've heard you should probably remove those before giving it to them. And yeah, the skin is safe too and actually has extra nutrients, just make sure you wash it first to get rid of any pesticide residue. Puppies can have them but introduce slowly and in small amounts to avoid stomach issues. One thing to avoid though - don't give them pickled cucumbers because of the onions and garlic in the brine, plus all that salt and acid isn't good for them. But raw cucumber? That's the way to go. If you're looking for healthy low-calorie treats for your dog, cucumber is honestly a solid choice and definitely good for dogs to eat in moderation.
