Blueberries are a low-sugar superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and fibre. They support eye health, cognitive function, and immune system strength in dogs of all ages. The anthocyanins in blueberries have anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for joints and overall wellness. Fresh, frozen, or dried blueberries are equally nutritious. Serve as a treat, topper, or mix into meals. They are particularly valuable for senior dogs and those with joint concerns. Most dogs enjoy the sweet flavour. No preparation needed beyond rinsing fresh berries.
