My 10 kg Beagle ate about 10 ripe mulberries from the yard, but my other dog didn't — what's the

Short answer

Ripe mulberries are safe for dogs in small amounts, so a few berries for a medium-sized dog like yours is low risk. The main concern would be if the fruit was unripe or if leaves were eaten, which are not safe. Just watch the Beagle for any mild stomach upset like soft stool, and keep the area clear of fallen berries to prevent the other dog from getting into them. Offer your dog some plain water and call your vet if you notice vomiting or unusual behavior.

Ripe berries are safe in small numbers. Unripe fruit and the leaves are not.

Dogs and cats carry the same rating (Safe to share), so the notes below hold for either pet.

Mulberry is not toxic to dogs. The real limit is calories, fat and salt, so treat it as a small extra alongside the normal ration rather than a meal in itself.

There is no poisoning risk here, and the usual problem is simply eating too much at once: a heavy fat or salt load can bring on loose stools or a single vomit. Offer water, keep an eye on the pet for 24 hours, and do not induce vomiting.

Mulberry can stay on the rotation, but only as an extra mouthful: keep the rest of the day's food unchanged and watch the next walk and the stool that comes with it.
