Is it okay to feed watermelon to a Norfolk Terrier?

Watermelon is one of the fruits that is generally safe to give to dogs. However, some caveats should be considered:

Remove the seeds and seed coat. Watermelon seeds contain seeds that are difficult to digest, and the seed coat is high in dietary fiber, which can affect digestion.

Give the right amount. Watermelon is high in water and low in calories, but giving too much can cause indigestion.

Caution should be taken with diabetic and obese dogs. Watermelon contains natural sugars and should be fed in appropriate amounts to dogs with these health issues.

Overall, watermelon is generally a safe treat to give, but be sure to use the appropriate dosage and precautions. It's also important to tailor the meal plan to your dog's individual health condition.
