Dogs can eat watermelon rinds, but the seeds in the rinds may cause discomfort or cause digestive problems. Always make sure to completely remove the seeds from the watermelon rind before giving it to your dog. Cut the watermelon rind into small pieces to prevent your dog from swallowing large chunks in one bite, which could cause choking or digestive issues.

Also, when giving watermelon rind to your dog, make sure it is fresh and without additives. Avoid giving your dog watermelon rind that is overloaded with condiments or added sugars. Although watermelon rind contains some nutrients, it should be eaten in moderation when giving it to your dog as a snack. Excessive intake may cause digestive problems. When giving watermelon rind to your dog for the first time, observe its reaction. Some dogs may be allergic or unaccustomed to new foods. If any discomfort occurs, feeding should be stopped in time.
