6. ORANGES: Yes,Oranges, however, are fine for dogs to eat, according to veterinarians . They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, and in small quantities can serve as tasty treats for your dog.

Benefits Of Oranges for Your Dog



Oranges are full of nutrients and low in sodium, which makes them a healthy snack in small quantities. However, oranges do contain natural sugars, which might make them a poor choice for obese dogs, and oranges can cause digestive upset in some dogs. If you want to try adding oranges to your dog’s diet, then it is probably a good idea to start out with one or two segments per day to see how his stomach reacts. Stop feeding oranges at once if you notice any unusual behavior after feeding your dog an orange. Even if your dog loves oranges and shows no signs of adverse reactions, limit his intake to no more than one whole orange a day for large dogs and one-third of an orange for small dogs. A segment or two is enough for most dogs, and limiting their treat intake can help avoid digestive upset and overfeeding.

5. STRAWBERRIES: Yes, your best
friend can have fresh strawberries. However you should not feed your dog canned or strawberries in syrup. These are not good for your pet at all. Strawberries are not only a healthy sweet treat for your dog, by giving them the berries you are also helping them to stay healthy in more ways than one. Over time, fresh fruit helps with aging, strengthens the immune system and helps with
weight management. Removing the high fat, salty snacks also helps with your pup’s teeth.

4. GRAPES: The answer about grapes (and this goes for
raisins, too) is: A BIG No.

PetMD points out that grapes and raisins are
well documented to have a high toxicity for dogs, though research has yet to pinpoint exactly which substance in the fruit causes the reaction.

Gender, breed, or age of the dog has no influence on the risk of being affected, and since there is no proven amount that is safe, prevention really is the best medicine when it comes to slipping your dog a few grapes and raisins.
Unfortunately, grape/raisin toxicity can even be
fatal when ingesting the fruit leads to acute
(sudden) kidney failure.

Here are the signs and symptoms that may
occur after a toxic ingestion:

* Loss of appetite
* Lethargy, weakness, unusual stillness
* Vomiting and/or diarrhea, often within a few
hours
* Abdominal pain (tender when touched)
* Dehydration (signs include panting; dry nose
and mouth; pale gums). A quick way to test for
dehydration: gently pull up on the skin at the
back of the dog’s neck. It should spring back
immediately.
*Diminished amount of urine or complete
cessation altogether
* Kidney failure (can be fatal)
If your dog has been affected, diagnosis and
treatment are absolutely critical

3. WATER-MELON: The answer is yes, with a
couple of precautions. Seeds could cause an intestinal blockage, so make sure you
remove them. It’s also probably not a good idea to allow a dog to chew on the rind, because it can cause gastrointestinal
upset.

The fruit itself is a health-food powerhouse, low in calories and packed with nutrients—vitamins A, B6, and C, and potassium.
According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board , the fruit has only about 50 calories a cup and 92 percent water, so it’s great for hydration on a hot day. It also has no fat or cholesterol, so it’s pretty much guilt-free.

Here are some fun facts from the NWPB:

*An average 15-to 20-pound watermelon will
yield 90 six-ounce wedges and 11 cups of
cubes.
*Ever notice that some watermelons have
internal cracks in the flesh? It’s a condition
known as Hollow Heart and is caused by
fluctuations in temperature during the
growing season. Hollow Heart melons are
safe to eat, and they are actually sweeter in
spots, because sugars tend to concentrate
along the cracks.
*From planting to harvest, it takes a
watermelon three months to grow.
*Seedless melons were developed 50 years
ago. They contain no black, mature seeds.
But you may see white seed coats, where
the seed did no mature.
*Citrullus Lanatus is the scientific name for
watermelon.
*It comes from the botanical family
Cucurbitaceae and is related to cucumbers,
pumpkins, and squash.

2. BANANA: Yes, dogs can eat bananas. Actually, many
veterinarians even recommend this potassium-rich fruit as a healthy alternative to fatty, salty treats. Other benefits? Bananas are high in fiber, which can help if your dog is having gastrointestinal problems, and magnesium, which promotes bone growth and helps the body produce protein and absorb vitamins.

As dog owners, it’s not uncommon to want to
spoil your four-legged family members by
sharing our fruits and vegetable with them. After all, if it is safe for you to eat, it must
be OK for them as well, right? Not necessarily.

While many human foods, especially fruits and vegetables, are perfectly safe, some are very unhealthy and downright dangerous to dogs. Dogs digest differently than humans, and eating the wrong foods can lead to long-term health problems and, in extreme cases, even death.

As carnivores, they have no need for fruits and vegetables as part of their diet, but an occasional fruit or veggie as a treat is OK.

But that doesn’t mean all human food is off
limits for dogs .

Read below to find out which fruits and vegetables are OK for sharing in moderation and which should be kept for you alone....



1. APPLE: Yes, dogs can eat apples. And most love 'em, too. Apples are a great source of vitamin C, fiber, calcium, and phosphorus, and they’re a safe way to satisfy your pet’s sweet tooth (as opposed to chocolate and other doggy diet no-nos ).

WARNING: Do not feed the seeds to your dog as they contain cyanide, a toxic substance. (Some also advise keeping the stem from your pet, too.) And do not give the core to your dog, as it can be a choking hazard. Cut the apple in slices so it's easier for your dog to eat. Also, like in people, eating too many apples can cause a dog to have a bellyach e and diarrhea , so serve them in moderation.

Nice write up.
Regular dog grooming will also help to keep ticks, fleas ... away.

No, regular de-worming won't keep ticks and fleas away but regular fumigation/ bathing of your dogs and also keeping your environment clean will keep them not only away but very far.
