Yes. Mangoes are a great source of vitamins A, B6, C, and E. They also contain dietary fibre, beta-carotene, anti-oxidants, and potassium. Mangoes help lower cholesterol levels, boost the immune system, improve eyesight, decrease inflammation in the body, and improve digestive health (when served in moderation).
Serving Ideas
Make sure your dog is not eating anything but the mango flesh. Remove the peel, which is difficult to digest, don’t share the leaves of the plant, and don’t allow your dog to eat the pit or seeds. The pit can become a choking hazard or cause digestive blockage, and the seeds contain cyanide, which is toxic to dogs. Serve no more than a quarter cup of fresh mango (for a larger dog) periodically as a snack. Eating too much mango can lead to diarrhoea or stomach upset because of the fruit’s sugar and dietary fibre content.
