What You Need to Know
Fresh mango is safe for dogs in small amounts but dried mango concentrates the natural sugars to levels that cause digestive upset. A small piece of fresh mango becomes a very high sugar treat when dried. Commercial dried mango frequently contains added sugar making it even less appropriate. Fresh mango is always a better choice.
