餵食毛孩吃水果掌握11個原則

11 principles to feed your pet fruit

水果含有豐富維生素、礦物質、膳食纖維及水分，對於毛孩來說，是最天然的營養補給品之一。

Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and water, and are one of the most natural nutritional supplements for furry pets.

但水果甜度高、熱量高，加上部分水果的果肉或果皮等成份，對毛孩來說可能較有爭議性和刺激性，所以餵食毛孩吃水果應該要注意以下原則，才不會沒補到營養反而傷害身體。

However, fruits are high in sweetness and calories, and some fruits contain ingredients such as pulp or peel, which may be controversial and irritating to pets. Therefore, when feeding fruits to pets, you should pay attention to the following principles to avoid harming the body instead of supplementing nutrition.

1. 避開爭議性水果 Avoid controversial fruits

大部分來說具爭議性的食物，其實都跟毛孩吃的份量與體重可承受度有關，而且都是可治癒的多。

Most controversial foods are actually related to the amount of food your pet eats and their weight tolerance, and most of them are curable.

許多獸醫也分享急診案例中，有毛孩吃一點洋蔥就有中毒現象，也有毛孩不小心吃了整顆洋蔥也沒太多反應。像水果葡萄一直備受爭議，雖然目前還沒有明確的國內外研究，可以證實其餵食後易發生致命結果，但台灣的水果蔬菜選擇那麼多，飼主們就不用特別執著一定非吃它不可。

Many veterinarians have shared emergency cases of pets experiencing onion poisoning after eating a small amount, while others have accidentally eaten a whole onion without significant reaction. Fruits like grapes have always been controversial. While there's no definitive domestic or international research confirming their lethality, Taiwan offers a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, so pet owners don't need to be overly particular about them.

另外像酪梨含有「酪梨素」（persin），毛孩食用可能會產生腹瀉或嘔吐等，也是盡量避免為佳。

In addition, avocados contain persin, which may cause diarrhea or vomiting in pets, so it is best to avoid it as much as possible.

特別注意有一種水果，多產於嘉義以南，名為鳳眼果又叫蘋婆，則是千萬不可餵食毛孩，只要吃一點就會中毒致死，甚至還可以找到餵食毛孩致死的新聞，飼主們一定要特別當心並提醒家人避免餵食。

Pay special attention to a kind of fruit that is mostly produced in the south of Chiayi. It is called Phoenix Eye Fruit and also called Artocarpus sterculia. It must never be fed to pets. Just a little bit of it can cause poisoning and death. You can even find news reports of pets dying from feeding it. Pet owners must be especially careful and remind their families to avoid feeding it.

2. 餵食水果一定要去皮去籽或避開多籽

When feeding fruits, be sure to peel and remove the seeds or avoid fruits with many seeds

大部分水果刺激的成分都在果皮或果籽上，也有的是因為果皮纖維太粗，果核或水果籽太硬，對毛孩來說容易造成無法消化，傷害腸胃。

Most of the irritating ingredients in fruits are on the peel or seeds. Some are because the peel fibers are too coarse, and the core or seeds are too hard, which can easily cause indigestion and damage the stomach and intestines of pets.

因此餵食毛孩吃水果一定要去皮去籽，尤其是硬的果核或水果籽，無論是水蜜桃、櫻桃、蘋果、西瓜、芭樂等，飼主要幫忙去籽再做餵食。如果是較軟或不會傷腸胃的水果籽及果皮，如草莓、小蕃茄、藍莓等則可洗淨並依據毛孩牙口餵食。

Therefore, when feeding fruit to your pet, be sure to peel and remove the seeds, especially hard pits or seeds. Whether it's peaches, cherries, apples, watermelons, or guavas, the owner should remove the seeds before feeding. If the seeds and peels of fruits are softer or not harmful to the stomach, such as strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and blueberries, they can be washed and fed according to the pet's teeth.

至於像百香果、釋迦、紅石榴等這類多籽類，且果肉和籽較難分開處理、也不好消化的水果，建議避開餵食。

As for fruits with many seeds such as passion fruit, sugar apple, and pomegranate, which are difficult to separate the flesh and seeds and difficult to digest, it is recommended to avoid feeding them.

3. 餵食水果把握少量多樣化原則 Feeding fruits in small amounts and in a variety of ways

餵食毛孩水果把握適量就好，過與不及都失去健康管理的原意。尤其有的毛孩體質虛寒，吃多了除了容易發胖，也會造成身體更驅寒畏冷。還有的毛孩因為糖尿病問題，過多的甜度、糖分易使血糖升高、刺激胰島素分泌，反而加重病情，得不償失。控制少量多樣化，避免甜度高造成毛孩負擔。

Feeding your pet fruit in moderation is crucial; too much or too little defeats the purpose of managing their health. Some pets, in particular, may have a weak constitution. Excessive fruit consumption can not only lead to weight gain but also worsen their sensitivity to cold. For some pets with diabetes, excessive amounts of sweetness and sugar can increase blood sugar levels and stimulate insulin secretion, potentially exacerbating the condition and potentially outweighing the benefits. Limit your intake to small amounts and a variety of foods to avoid overly sweet foods that can burden your pet.

4. 挑選較不甜的果肉部位餵食，避免餵食過多果乾、果汁

Choose less sweet flesh parts to feed, and avoid feeding too much dried fruit or fruit juice

我們吃水果都講究甜度，甜度高代表熱量高，對腎臟等身體代謝負擔也大，對毛孩來說更是如此。尤其蔬菜水果只要製成果乾、打成果汁，甜度、熱量都會增加，更不適合餵食毛孩，造成發胖或代謝不掉。

We all pay attention to the sweetness of fruits. High sweetness means high calories, which puts a heavy burden on the kidneys and other metabolic processes, especially for pets. Especially when fruits and vegetables are dried or juiced, their sweetness and calories increase, making them unsuitable for feeding pets, potentially causing weight gain or poor metabolism.

如毛孩體質濕熱，皮膚容易反覆發作，雖然像西瓜這類性寒、味甘水果可以清熱解暑，但餵食時還是要注意儘量挑靠近皮的白肉餵食，不僅甜度低，去濕效果大勝紅色果肉，消煩止熱咳的效果更好。不過也要看西瓜品種，可能有的白肉部分纖維太粗，可以切細碎或入烹調等方式餵食毛孩為佳。

If your pet has a damp-heat constitution and is prone to recurrent skin flare-ups, while fruits like watermelon, which are cold and sweet in nature, can clear heat and relieve summer heat, it's important to choose the white flesh, close to the skin. This is less sweet and significantly more effective than the red flesh in removing dampness, relieving fever and coughs. However, the variety of watermelon also matters; the white flesh may be too coarse, so it's best to chop it into small pieces or cook it before feeding it to your pet.

還有餵食這些甜度較高的水果，也要注意搭配刷牙保持清潔喔！

Also, when feeding these sweet fruits, remember to brush your teeth to keep them clean!

5.掌握水果屬性避免腸胃不適 Understand the properties of fruits to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort

寒涼性水果如西瓜、奇異果、香瓜、雪梨等，最好不要與燥熱性的羊肉、牛肉同餵食，避免引起腸胃不適。

It is best not to feed cold fruits such as watermelon, kiwi, cantaloupe, and pear with hot lamb and beef to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.

可餵食毛孩的水果依據屬性常見的有：

The common fruits that can be fed to pets are:

• 寒涼性水果：如西瓜、香蕉、奇異果、香瓜、柿子、李子、雪梨、草莓、桑椹、火龍果。 Cooling fruits: such as watermelon, banana, kiwi, cantaloupe, persimmon, plum, pear, strawberry, mulberry, and dragon fruit.

• 溫熱性水果：如荔枝、龍眼、桃子、櫻桃、金棗。 Warming fruits: such as lychee, longan, peach, cherry, and golden jujube.

• 平性水果：如鳳梨、芒果、蘋果、加州李、木瓜、棗子、柳橙等。 Neutral fruits: such as pineapple, mango, apple, California plum, papaya, jujube, and orange.

6. 毛孩如有疾病問題則特定成分高的水果淺嚐或避免

If your pet has a medical problem, they should only eat or avoid fruits high in certain ingredients.

像櫻桃、火龍果、香蕉、藍莓或是柚子、楊桃都含有很高的維生素C及鐵質、水分，可以提高毛小孩免疫力、造血補血和身體水份，但由於含鉀量也高，所以餵食上除了要注意去籽、給予淺嚐原則和清洗乾淨等三大原則，對於有腎臟泌尿問題的毛孩一定要特別避免或少食。至於腸胃能力較差、體質虛弱、有糖尿病、潰瘍症的寵物，則最好也要注意餵食。另外櫻桃也不適宜與堅果類同食，以免妨礙維生素E的吸收。

Fruits like cherries, dragon fruit, bananas, blueberries, grapefruit, and star fruit are high in vitamin C, iron, and water, boosting your pet's immunity, blood production, and hydration. However, because they are also high in potassium, they should be carefully considered when feeding them: removing the seeds, allowing a light taste, and cleaning thoroughly. Pets with kidney and urinary problems should avoid or limit their intake. Pets with weak digestive systems, diabetes, or ulcers should also exercise caution when feeding them. Furthermore, cherries should not be eaten with nuts, as this may hinder the absorption of vitamin E.

7. 餵食前要大量清水除去農藥殘留 Use plenty of clean water to remove pesticide residues before feeding

由於台灣大部分農藥都是酸性及水溶性居多，因此無論是我們自己要吃或是要餵食毛孩，務必要用大量活水清洗除去農藥殘存，尤其櫻桃、蔓越莓等這類進口的水果，容易因為運送期長，冷藏的時間也變長，所以都會施放殺菌劑以避免腐壞，故食用前更需要好好地清洗較好。

Since most pesticides in Taiwan are acidic and water-soluble, whether you are eating them yourself or feeding them to your pets, you must wash them with plenty of running water to remove any pesticide residue. This is especially true for imported fruits such as cherries and cranberries, which are prone to spoilage due to long shipping and refrigeration times. Therefore, fungicides are applied to them to prevent them from spoiling. Therefore, they need to be thoroughly washed before eating.

如果想縮短活水清洗時間，可以1:1000比例，使用食品級小蘇打加水先浸泡，有助酸性農藥酸鹼中和。

If you want to shorten the running water cleaning time, you can use food-grade baking soda and water in a ratio of 1:1000 to soak first, which will help neutralize the acidic pesticides.

8. 水果最好在餐與餐間餵食取代點心 It is best to feed fruit between meals instead of snacks

毛孩飯前吃水果容易使血糖上升，或是容易引起腹瀉、腹脹、軟便，所以最好飼主盡量選擇在餐與餐之間的時間，可以當作零食點心來做餵食，反而比餵食餅乾、肉乾好，還能補充不足的維生素等營養。

Eating fruit before meals can easily increase blood sugar levels in pets, or cause diarrhea, bloating, and loose stools. Therefore, it is best for pet owners to feed fruit between meals. It can be fed as a snack, which is better than feeding biscuits or dried meat, and can also supplement deficient vitamins and other nutrients.

9. 酵素含量多水果建議飯後適量助排便

It is recommended to eat fruits rich in enzymes in moderation after meals to help with bowel movements.

如木瓜、鳳梨、蘋果、香蕉等，富含蛋白酶可以分解蛋白質，或是果膠豐富，特別容易餵食後，馬上就會有便意，但相對的，如果腸胃比較差，平常就容易拉軟便的毛孩，則最好少量或避免。

For example, papaya, pineapple, apple, banana, etc. are rich in protease that can break down protein, or are rich in pectin, which makes it easy for pets to feel the urge to defecate immediately after feeding them. However, if your pet has a poor stomach and is prone to soft stools, it is best to feed them in small amounts or avoid them.

10. 要配合毛孩牙口大小與年齡、腸胃情況小心餵食

Feed carefully according to your pet's tooth size, age, and gastrointestinal condition.

尤其像小型犬、老犬或貓咪等，要注意配合毛孩牙口合適大小，切成小段或小口餵食，避免噎住或消化不良；貓咪則最好以果泥加上少許飲用水方式，除了比較符合貓咪習慣，也能避免甜度太高問題，並適時幫貓咪補充飲水。

Especially for small dogs, old dogs or cats, you should pay attention to the size of their teeth, cut the food into small pieces or feed it in small mouthfuls to avoid choking or indigestion; for cats, it is best to use fruit puree with a little drinking water. In addition to being more in line with cats' habits, it can also avoid the problem of too much sweetness and help cats replenish drinking water in time.

11. 水果有容易過敏刺激反應的成分，可做適當的前置處理降低發生機會

Fruits contain ingredients that are prone to allergic reactions. Appropriate pre-treatment can reduce the chance of allergic reactions.

鳳梨屬黃色食物的水果，有豐富的維他命B1，維生素C的含量是蘋果的五倍，具有非常好的抗氧化功能，也可增加腸內有益菌活動，有助排便順暢，減少致癌物質和腸壁接觸時間。

Pineapples are yellow fruits rich in vitamin B1 and contain five times more vitamin C than apples. They possess excellent antioxidant properties and can boost the activity of beneficial intestinal bacteria, promoting smoother bowel movements and reducing the contact time between carcinogens and the intestinal lining.

但是鳳梨的蛋白酶對少數過敏性體質的人或毛孩，食用後會有皮膚發癢、腹瀉等症狀，因此削皮時注意皮肉間黑斑點要削乾淨，並可先浸泡2％濃度的鹽水，能清除一些有機酸與生物鹼，對於口腔黏膜的刺激過敏等也能減輕。盡量挑選當季，改良品種、果肉較細緻的為佳。另外像鳳梨芯纖維較粗或硬，最好避免餵食毛孩造成消化不良。

However, the protease in pineapples can cause itching and diarrhea in some people with allergies or pets. Therefore, when peeling, be sure to remove any dark spots between the skin and flesh. Pre-soaking in 2% salt water can remove organic acids and alkaloids, and may also reduce oral mucosal irritation and allergies. It's best to choose seasonal, improved varieties with finer flesh. Also, avoid feeding pineapples to pets, as they have coarse or hard core fibers, which can cause indigestion.

另外餵食毛孩吃水果，避免餵食罐頭製的，營養流失多且易有調味添加等問題。盡量挑選當季、果肉口感細緻的水果為佳或是可以依據毛孩體質需求，選擇合適的水果入烹調，無論是搭配肉品做成水果肉捲、派塔點心，也可搭配肉骨煮湯增加風味與營養，提高毛孩食用意願喔！

Also, avoid canned fruit when feeding pets, as it loses nutrients and is prone to additives. Try to choose seasonal fruits with delicate flesh, or you can choose suitable fruits for cooking according to your pet's physical needs. Whether it is paired with meat to make fruit rolls or pie snacks, or paired with meat and bones to make soup to increase flavor and nutrition, it will increase your pet's willingness to eat!
