If you’ve ever caught your dog eyeing your snack or wondered whether bananas are a safe treat, you’re not alone. Many pet owners ask, “Can dogs eat bananas?” — and the good news is: yes! Dogs can eat bananas, but as with all human foods, there’s a bit more to the story than just saying “yes.”
Let’s break it down in a dog-friendly, easy-to-understand way.
Are Bananas Safe for Dogs?
Yes — bananas are safe for dogs to eat. Unlike some fruits that are toxic to dogs (such as grapes or cherries), bananas are non-toxic and generally safe when given in moderation.
That said, “safe” doesn’t mean “unlimited.” Portion control is essential.

Bananas are naturally sweet and contain several полез nutrients for dogs:
Potassium – supports heart and muscle function

✅ Peel it first – never feed the peel ✅ Cut into small pieces – prevent choking ✅ Start with tiny portions – especially for first-time feeding ✅ Limit treats – fruit treats should be no more than 10% of daily calories

Yes — dogs can eat bananas, and many dogs love the taste! 🍌🐕 They offer some nutritional benefits but should only be given occasionally due to their sugar and fiber content.

This on-line company is such a good find. They provide quality products at a good price with delivering them efficiently. Definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
En fait, c'est le seul produit dont mon chat "Winston" ne soufre pas de problèmes cutané et perte de poils, le "Révolution plus" fait très bien le travail, merci.
