PuddleDuck Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 After having a bunch of toddlers here the other day I noticed that the dogs were frantically trying the pilfer the watermelon skins that the kids left behind. Is there any issues with feeding them watermelon skin (the green and the white part)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash1 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Our dogs love watermelon too, and I've not had any issues with them eating the rind as well. Some of the dogs will just eat the flesh, others will hoover up the whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy mum Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Don't think so, my dogs absolutely love watermelon but don't bother with the skin, obviously it isn't as yummy as the pink flesh. But, kirislin regularly gives her whippets watermelon skin and they love it, and with no problems either. I'm sure she'll comment here as well. As with most things though, give in moderation.

Kirislin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 mine eat the watermelon and skins all the time, also cantaloupe (rockmelon) skins. They sometimes let them dry in the sun and then crunch them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty&biscuit Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I always give Rusty my water melon skins, one of his favourite foods! The other 2 aren't so Ken on it, however there had never been a problem with any of them after eating it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I was growling at the kids the other week for letting the dogs eat the watermelon skins, maybe in future I'll let them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 All dogs and chickens that are or have been here eat the whole thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleDuck Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hooray, one less thing for me to pick up! I couldn't see that it would be an issue but thought I should double check since they are determined to eat heaps of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewieTAG Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I heard water melon is ok but not the seeds.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My guys love watermelon, and they just poop the seeds out whole if there are any (most watermelon we get seems to have hardly any seeds these days anyway). They aren't a fan of the skin or the white bits though, they like the tasty parts only :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't mind banana skins either, and went crazy over bean shoots the other day, bloody weirdos!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
