Oranges are generally safe to give to dogs, but you should be careful. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which may benefit your dog's health. However, please keep in mind the following:

Portion control: When feeding oranges to your dog, it's important to follow the right amount. Feeding too many oranges can put a strain on your dog's stomach. Small dogs require special attention.

Remove seeds and skin: Be sure to remove the seeds and hard skin from oranges before serving, as they can be difficult to digest and pose a choking hazard for dogs.

Beware of sensitivities and allergies: Dogs can have allergic reactions to new foods, so be careful when introducing oranges to your dog for the first time. Start with a small amount and watch your dog's reaction.

Be careful with orange juice: Orange juice is high in sugar, and excess sugar intake can have a negative impact on your dog's weight management. We recommend avoiding fruit juice and feeding fruit pulp.

When feeding oranges to dogs, it is important to prepare them properly and take into account the individual differences and health condition of each dog. It's important to avoid overfeeding and consider treats containing oranges as part of your dog's overall diet. We also recommend adjusting your dog's diet to suit his health and seeking advice from your veterinarian to ensure he gets the nutrition he needs.
