About Blackberry

Blackberries are used in pet foods primarily as a natural source of dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C and K) and antioxidant polyphenols (anthocyanins), contributing flavor, color and potential support for digestive health and oxidative stress reduction. They can be offered to dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats in small amounts, but because pets—especially obligate-carnivore cats—require mainly animal-based nutrition and excess fruit can add sugars, calories or cause gastrointestinal upset, berries should be included sparingly and be clean, appropriately sized to avoid choking and free of pesticide residues.
