Short answer

Yes, raspberries are safe for dogs in small amounts. Wash them first to remove any dirt or pesticides, then offer a few whole berries as a treat. Too many can cause an upset stomach, so keep it to just a handful. If your dog eats a large quantity or seems unwell, contact your vet for advice.
