Question 2

What Is The Best Way For Dogs To Eat Cucumber?

Just like you would with all fruits and vegetables, wash cucumbers thoroughly before feeding them to your dog, to remove any residual dirt and chemicals. If you'd like, you can remove the cucumber skin with a vegetable peeler or knife. Then, slice the raw cucumber into thin slices! Feeding cucumbers to your dog is as simple as that!

Question 3

Can Dogs Eat Pickled Cucumbers?

Accepted Answer

No, you should not feed your dog pickled cucumbers. When cucumbers are pickled, they are placed in a brine that contains excessive salt. The brine also might contain garlic and onions, which are dangerous for dogs.

Question 4

Can Dogs Eat Cucumber Seeds And Skin?

Accepted Answer

Typically, yes - dogs can eat cucumber seeds, and it's not necessary to peel the cucumber first. However, it is true that cucumbers contain a toxic compound called cucurbitacin. This compound is mostly found in the roots, stems, and leaves of the plant. A small amount can spread to the fruit itself. It's too small an amount to be dangerous, but it can make the peel and seeds of a cucumber taste bitter. If your dog seems to be bothered by cucumbers, consider offering peeled cucumbers with the seeds removed.

Accepted Answer

Depending on what other ingredients have been added, yes - dogs can eat cooked cucumber. Typically, we humans enjoy cucumbers raw. However, there are some favorite side dishes that involve cooked cucumbers, and so long as they don't include garlic and onions, it's fine to give your dog a piece. However, your dog might not be interested. Cooked cucumber has a much different texture than raw cucumber.
