Yes, dogs can eat dried cranberries in moderation. Dried cranberries are packed with antioxidants that benefit dogs’ health. They can be given to dogs as an occasional treat, but intake should be limited as they are high in sugar, contributing to unhealthy weight gain and diabetes.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Dried cranberries are a good source of vitamin C and other antioxidants, which can help protect a dog's body against damage from free radicals.
  • Dried cranberries are also rich in fiber which is essential for digestive health in dogs.

Risks

health-risks
  • Dried cranberries are high in sugar. While a small handful of cranberries won't hurt a dog, too much sugar can lead to weight gain, obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. If you do feed your dog dried cranberries, be sure to do so in moderation.
