A Labrador owner was baffled when their dog's fur inexplicably turned a vivid shade of purple, but after a brief moment of confusion, she soon learned what caused the pup's hilarious new look.

In the video shared on TikTok in August, under the username @zaffie_boo, the dog can be seen picking berries with his owner as he flaunts his new fur color while snacking on the fruits.

After some investigation, it became clear that the culprit was a natural but unexpected source—blueberry juice from her friends' hands petting the dog as he begged them for berries.

Though safe for dogs to eat, blueberries are notorious for staining fur, especially dogs with light coloring. The situation, while harmless, raised a broader concern: Can dogs eat all fruits and vegetables? And the answer is no.

Safe Fruits and Veggies for Dogs

According to the AKC, many fruits and vegetables can be healthy, nutritious treats for dogs. Apples, for instance, are rich in vitamins A and C, and can be a great snack—just be sure to remove the seeds, as they contain trace amounts of cyanide. Bananas are another safe option, offering a boost of potassium, while watermelon (without seeds or rind) is hydrating and refreshing, perfect for hot days.

Vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and green beans are excellent low-calorie treats, providing fiber and important nutrients for dogs. These veggies can be offered raw or lightly steamed, making them a simple and healthy snack.

However, moderation is essential, even with safe foods. Overfeeding fruits and vegetables can cause digestive issues or disrupt a dog's balanced diet.

Fruits and Veggies to Avoid

On the flip side, some fruits and vegetables can be dangerous, even life-threatening. Grapes and raisins are particularly harmful and can cause kidney failure in dogs, even in small amounts. Avocados, despite being a superfood for humans, contain persin, which can cause vomiting or diarrhea in dogs.

Other fruits like peaches and cherries should also be avoided, as their pits can present choking hazards and lead to intestinal blockages if consumed. Even more alarming, pits contain cyanide, which is toxic to dogs.

Vegetables such as onions, garlic, and chives should be kept far away from your dog's bowl. Even a small amount of these can damage red blood cells, leading to anemia. While potatoes are fine for dogs when cooked, raw potatoes and those with green patches contain solanine, a compound that is toxic to dogs.

The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 1.5 million views and 155,000 likes on the platform.
