I always share my bananas with my dogs. But I’ve never had a dog who would eat an orange.

My last dog loved corn on the cob and would hold it with her paws and pick the kernels off.

I used to take her with me to the local farmer’s market and she treated it like a buffet eating all the fallen produce.

Don’t feed them grapes. My dog used to love it when I washed grapes to bring for lunch and throw her some from the other room. She’d go 8 for 10 in catching them and eating them.

I later found out they damage dog’s kidneys.

My mastiff loves raw oranges, I give him a slice out of every one I peel. He chews the thing. I know grapes and raisins are bad for dogs, not sure about oranges so I only give him one slice. I also give him a bite of apple, a bite of watermelon or other melon. I am guessing that at 223 pounds, a small amount of something like that will probably be okay. Pumpkin is another favorite of his, cooked without the spices.

He’s 7 yo, never has been sick except for diarrhea when he eats corn cobs. I also do not give him broccoli, although he would love it, because if he eats anything with beans he gets REALLY bad gas. Any gas causing foods = NOT GOOD.

He loves corn on the cob, can’t give it to him because he eats the cob, and it gives him diarrhea.
