Can dogs eat seedless watermelon?

Small treatGenerally suitable when plain and properly prepared

Why it matters

Seedless watermelon is listed as an acceptable treat. The hard rind can obstruct the digestive tract.

How to serve it

Remove every seed and all rind before serving. Keep the portion small because fruit contains sugar.
