Healthy Snacks For Dogs: What Human Foods Can Pets Eat?
This blog is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods or supplements into your pet’s diet.
Did you know that some of your favorite healthy snacks are not only safe but also beneficial for your dog? At Pet Releaf, we view our pets as equal members of the family — and that includes what we snack on! From crunchy veggies to fiber-rich fruits, there are plenty of human foods that can be shared with your pup in moderation.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best healthy snacks for dogs, straight from your kitchen or grocery list — plus how you can support their digestion naturally along the way.
1. Carrots
Carrots are a nutrient-packed, low-calorie snack that dogs love to crunch on. They’re rich in Vitamin A, fiber, and potassium, and may even help support dental health when served raw. Their low fat content makes them a smart option for dogs who need to manage their weight.
Feeding Tip: Serve raw or cooked, but always chop into bite-sized pieces to prevent choking and make them easier to digest.
2. Eggs
Eggs are a highly digestible protein source that can help settle an upset stomach in dogs. They’re full of amino acids and healthy fats, and can also be a protein-rich treat for cats. Just make sure the eggs are fully cooked before serving — raw egg whites can interfere with biotin absorption.
3. Blueberries
Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants like Vitamin C and phytochemicals, which support immune health and may aid brain function in older dogs. They’re also a good source of fiber, which helps support digestion.
Feeding Tip: Serve fresh or frozen, and always rinse thoroughly. Keep an eye on portion sizes for small dogs to avoid choking.
4. Peanut Butter
A classic favorite, peanut butter is packed with protein, healthy fats, and B vitamins. It’s a great option for filling a treat toy to keep your pup busy. Just be sure to choose unsalted, xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
5. Green Beans
Green beans are an excellent source of fiber, iron, calcium, and Vitamins A, B6, C, and K. They’re low in calories and can help dogs feel full without adding excess weight.
Feeding Tip: Only use plain green beans — no salt, seasoning, butter, or oils. Steamed or raw works best!
Supporting Your Dog's Digestion with Supplements
While fruits and vegetables can be a healthy addition to your dog’s diet, not all pups digest new foods easily. That’s where natural digestive supplements can play a supportive role. If your dog occasionally experiences loose stool, gas, or digestive upset, adding a postbiotic supplement to their daily routine may help maintain healthy digestion.
Pet Releaf’s Digestive Support Powder with Postbiotics is a plant-based formula designed to support digestive function and bowel health. It helps maintain proper digestion, encourages regular and consistent stools, and supports a healthy gut environment. Made with natural ingredients and no fillers or artificial additives, it’s safe for daily use and gentle enough for both adult dogs and puppies — including those with sensitive stomachs.
