How should I prepare celery to prevent my dog from choking?

To ensure safety, never give your dog a whole celery stalk. The long, stringy fibers can act like a net and cause choking or even an intestinal blockage. You must chop the celery into small, bite-sized pieces (about half an inch or smaller), effectively cutting across the tough fibers to make them easier to chew and digest.

Can celery help with my dog's bad breath?

Yes, celery is often called a 'natural breath freshener' for dogs. Its crunchy texture helps physically scrub away plaque and food debris from the teeth, while the high water content stimulates saliva production, which naturally rinses away odor-causing bacteria in the mouth.
