Can cats or dogs eat cranberries?
Cats: Unavailable Dogs: Edible — Fresh or unflavored dried cranberries are edible for dogs in small amounts, according to PetMD, but check the label to make sure dried cranberries do not contain xylitol or added sugar. This is because xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, according to the VCA. Safety information is not available directly from veterinarians for cats. Choose fresh, washed or dried cranberries that do not contain xylitol. Give them a little at a time if you suspect a product contains xylitol. Take them to the veterinarian immediately even if they eat only a small amount.
