Warum?

Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) is one of the most nutrient-dense fruits available. One medium kiwi provides more vitamin C than an orange, along with significant vitamin K, folate, and potassium. Dogs don't require vitamin C through diet (they synthesize their own), but additional antioxidants from food sources may still offer health benefits.

The flesh, seeds, and skin of kiwi are all non-toxic to dogs. The small black seeds are entirely harmless. The fuzzy brown skin is also non-toxic, though its texture means most dogs won't voluntarily eat it — and it may cause mild GI irritation in some dogs due to the fiber concentration.

Slice kiwi into appropriately sized pieces to prevent choking. The high water content makes it a refreshing summer treat.

Was soll ich tun?

No action needed. Safe as an occasional treat.
