Nothing required for the plant itself. Feed berries in moderation — their sugar can loosen stools in large amounts — and keep chemical treatments out of the patch.

Common questions

How many strawberries can a dog eat?

A few small berries or a couple of slices per day is a sensible limit for most dogs; more sugar tends to cause diarrhea.

Why is my dog eating the leaves instead of the berries?

Dogs often graze foliage. It is non-toxic, but fence off beds if the grazing gets heavy or the leaves were sprayed.

Are green unripe berries a problem?

No toxicity, but unripe fruit is harder to digest and may cause a mild stomach upset if eaten in quantity.
