Can My Dog Eat Strawberries

There was a big flair up on the internet recently about the answer to the question — Can My Dog Eat Strawberries?

The Answer is Yes.

The reason for the confusion — the green stems.

That’s right your dog can eat the berry, but the green stem at the top may cause GI upset.

So feel free to share a bite or two of strawberries with your dog when you sit down for a snack.

Benefits of Strawberries for Dogs

  • Rich in fisetin a natural polyphenol compound that supports longevity with antioxidant properties & support for the inflammatory response system.

    • Strawberries top the list of fruits with the highest levels of fisetin. You’ll also find it in apples, cucumbers, and many other fruits and vegetables.

  • High in fiber that’s easy on the digestive system

Recently, scientists have discovered fisetin also kills senescent cells—those “zombie cells” that are a hallmark of premature aging (cell senescence is when cells lose their ability to divide but don’t die, so they just hang out and damage healthy cells).

A cell study published in the journal Aging showed that Fisetin eliminated about 70 percent of Zombie cells while doing no harm to healthy, normal cells.

A study on animals consuming fisetin showed they lived longer and experienced less age-related issues, which prompted an ongoing clinical trial at the Mayo clinic examining the direct effects of fisetin supplementation on age related dysfunction in humans.
