Cantaloupe

High in water and low in calories, so it works as an occasional hydrating treat.

1-2 small pieces per serving without reducing main-diet intake.

Peel, remove the seeds and dice small.

Cats do not need fruit or vegetables, and sugary fruit should be kept especially small.

About 90% water and roughly 34 kcal per 100 g, with vitamins A and C, useful as a low-calorie hydrating treat in summer.

2-3 small pieces for a small dog (4-5 for a large dog), within about 10% of daily energy intake.

Rinse, then peel and remove the seeds and cut into bite-sized pieces; add no sugar, salt or cream.

Rind and seeds are hard to digest and can cause vomiting or a blockage; too much sugary fruit at once leads to loose stools.
