- 2–3 berries, a few times a week.
Why
Blackberries are safe and provide fibre and vitamin C. Give ripe, washed berries only; unripe ones are sour and harder on the gut.
How much is too much
2–3 berries, a few times a week.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
