Yes, cooked blackcurrants are safe for dogs even if the tiny seeds are left in. They can be given plain, without added sugar or seasoning. Offer only a small handful because the fruit is high in natural sugars that can add up quickly. Keep an eye on your dog for any stomach upset, and call your regular vet if you notice vomiting or diarrhea.
