Overview

dog-food-safety-information

Caution. Dogs can eat goumi berries in small amounts, but their overall effects are not well studied. While they are considered nontoxic, goumi berries contain antioxidants and healthy fats that may benefit dogs. However, their strong astringency might make them unappealing, and overfeeding could upset your dog's stomach.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Goumi berries are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which promote optimal health.
  • The fruit also contains essential fatty acids, which reduce bad cholesterol and promote a healthy heart.
  • The antioxidants in goumi berries help fight infections and reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer.

Risks

health-risks
  • Unripe goumi berries have strong astringency, which is not suitable for dogs.
  • Though another fruit from the same Elaeagnus family, the silver berry, is known to be non-toxic to dogs, there are no direct studies that have been done on the suitability of feeding goumi berries to dogs.
