Berries are a “human food” that is good for pets, too!  Of course, follow your veterinarian’s advice, and feed treats in moderation. The [American Kennel Club](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-blueberries/#:~:text=Yes%2C%20dogs%20can%20eat%20blueberries,and%20most%20pups%20love%20them.) recommends that all treats should only make up about 10% of your dog’s diet each day.  ![Man holding a dog by the leash](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/NFZlv1LCiXPf0FN-jG3Z7IbqtzU0kCNlFSgMl-VhPSpM99rohDvAGS_aMTYvABcjjDtUjdtAgxQsQxaGelYZGcKep2zAPyQsDPdk9GbDYi-KyKlWTnm70CVoMZFSU57lNN0ou1gY=s0) Here’s how to treat your pet with berries from [California Giant Berry Farms](http://calgiant.com/):  [**Blueberries**](http://calgiant.com/blueberries)**:** Blueberries are good for pets because they are low in calories, and contain antioxidants and other nutrients that support their immune system and overall health. When training a puppy at home, try rewarding a good boy or girl with a blueberry instead of a calorie-heavy biscuit from the pet store. ![Closeup of someone holding a bowl of blueberries](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/SY0EmpS828NMQ2Hp_gS4GsKocXBXz-VjB7u-aaBmra8tCAG8LnGwm8zUbVT5asS80TREuEX0OMYr4Ddulx1sBsLTKdH-rMLf-LK4cuQb6SkMomq37qRXMEqfdVAMLVULQs-N5QTL=s0) **Frozen Treats:** A simple way to keep your buddy cool in the summer is with frozen treats! Try mixing blueberries with plain Greek yogurt and spreading that mixture into a popsicle or ice cube trays. ![Greek yogurt dog treats](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/kxKbmE50qXs4QIbdzxcjuuQy1UB2JgkHQdV8Bi2cjimS574yBgd7rWmjqjXNc3QaCPmnk8TtjCWOlYaO9Zg0NQHuxDjwFjq79QW9EcrMVm-vcNj-zzyMCye5fsWOXBP3WqeBGSmh=s0) **Baked Treats:** Oatmeal, peanut butter, and fresh berries are the trifecta of flavor for our four-legged friends.
