Yes, cantaloupe is safe for dogs to eat in moderation. Make sure to remove the rind and seeds first, then cut the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking. Since it's naturally high in sugar, keep portions small to avoid an upset stomach or weight gain. Offer it plain and watch for any signs of digestive upset; if your dog seems off, call your own vet.
